Product Information

To proceed with the design, initial values must be assumed. Typically, the type of material is initially selected. The objective of the design then becomes finding the geometry of the spring that can operate under the applied force and deflection. Wire dimensions, coil length, and the number of active coils are assumed initially for trial calculation. These values are correlated through tables and charts from spring design handbooks or manufacturer datasheets. The values are verified if the theoretical stress experienced by the spring with trial dimensions is within the maximum allowable stress of the material operating at a given type of service. If the theoretical stress calculated exceeds the maximum allowable stress, another set of trial dimensions is used.

This article gives you a comprehensive guide about springs. Read further to learn more about the following. These are springs that operate with tensile loads. The free length of tension springs is almost equal to the solid length to allow more deflection when stretched. The design of tension springs is the same as compression springs but with more emphasis on the design of end hooks and the initial tension. Tension springs represent about 10% of all springs manufactured.We have a continued investment strategy with an emphasis upon improving our capacity, efficiency and quality of the products we manufacture. We have invested considerably in the latest spring manufacturing equipment and have one of the most extension production capabilities of any independent UK spring supplier. Commitment to Quality Applications include piano wire (also known as [11] music wire) such as ASTM A228 (0.80–0.95% carbon), spring clamps, antennas, springs (e. g. vehicle coil springs or leaf springs), and s-tines. A spring does not deflect through tension or compression. They change their dimension mainly due to torsion or shear. To further visualize, suppose the spring is unwound into a straight wire, typically with a round cross-section. The resulting free body diagram then becomes the cross-section of the wire with shearing forces acting on its periphery.

Stainless Type 420, SAE 51420 (13 percent chromium): This is the best stainless steel for use in large diameters above 0.1875 inch and is frequently used in smaller sizes. It is formed in the annealed condition and then hardened and tempered. It does not exhibit its stainless properties until after it is hardened. Clean bright surfaces provide the best corrosion resistance, therefore the heat-treating scale must be removed. Bright hardening methods are preferred. The main objective of spring design is to determine the right combination of spring geometry and material to achieve safe working stress at a practical cost. Barrel (Convex) and Barbell/Hourglass (Concave) Springs: These are helical springs with double cone geometries. They have the same advantages as that of conical springs. The use of stainless spring steels has increased and several compositions are available all of which may be used for temperatures up to 550 °F. They are all corrosion-resistant. Only the stainless 18-8 compositions should be used at sub-zero temperatures. Extension springs are helical wound springs that are so closely coiled together to create initial tension in the coils. This initial tension creates resistance against the force applied to its ends for extension. The initial tension helps determine how closely and... Torsion SpringsEach of these steel types must be carefully chosen, created and modelled into the spring of your choice, and each subtle adjustment to the make-up of the material must change how we approach the spring-making process, too. Flat springs are made of flat strip steel and are used in many applications and are ideally suited for applications where space is limited or where the spring can be used as part of mounting assembly. The flat spring design allows forming of specific features and profiles for a unique application and mounting location. Flat springs can be made in a variety of shape, sizes, designs and materials to work for many design applications. An experienced Lee Spring engineer knowledge in our fourslide, powerpress, and hand-forming tools can work with you from design concept through manufactured parts to assist with creating the optimal design of your custom flat spring.

In healthcare, the hypoallergenic properties of the metal used might be of the greatest importance. In this case, titanium springs can prove to be the most effective for the end purpose. In contrast to some metals, titanium can be considered a little brittle for everyday use, and it can also be difficult to mould into the desired shape if wielded by an inexperienced company.Chromium-Silicon Alloy (ASTM A401): These are available in cold-drawn or oil-tempered conditions. Chromium-silicon steel alloy can be heat treated to high hardness without losing much ductility. They are suitable in high impact loadings such as firearm recoil springs. The main objective of spring design is to determine the right combination of spring geometry and material to achieve safe working stress at a practical cost. The desired properties to achieve this are high strength, high elastic limit, fatigue resistance, and hardness, with added properties such as corrosion resistance and machinability. Regarding the mechanical properties, the role of heat treatment is important in altering the stress-strain characteristics of the metal. All of these must be considered in selecting the right material. Common spring materials are summarized below. Carbon Steel Springs F is the force, D is the coil diameter, lowercase d is the wire diameter, Kw is the Wahl correction factor, and C is the spring index (D/d). Spiral or Power Springs: These are long bands or strips wound into two or more coils with one end clamped and the other attached to a shaft or wheel. The spring stores energy when the shaft is rotated. This is used as a balancing element in mechanical watches that gives the oscillating time controller its natural frequency. Thus, in watchmaking, they are also called balance springs or hairsprings.
