Circle at a speed of approximately 28,000 km / h Gutekunst compression springs Earth orbit on the international space station ISS. This makes them probably the fastest compression springs in use. Gutekunst feathers supplies these compression springs to the company
Spring materials with high fatigue strength
Whether spring steel, bronze or brass wire – everyone Spring material has a specific strength. This determines the degree of mechanical resistance, for example if it comes to plastic deformation or separation. The characteristic values for the strength can with
OCI Punchout Catalog Data Interface
Open Catalog Interface (OCI) is an open and standardized catalog data interface for the exchange of catalog and order data between purchasing programs (eProcurement systems such as “SAP Enterprise Buyer Professional”) and external online shops. The OCI punchout standard was
Easily find the right metal spring
Selecting or requesting the right metal spring for the desired application is not always easy. In addition to the type of spring, shape, dimensions and force characteristics, environmental influences and special properties often have to be taken into account. In
Snap rings for shafts and bores
What are snap rings? A snap ring is a special form of locking ring. In mechanical engineering, it secures components such as wheels, sealing elements and bearings on axles, shafts or within bores against axial displacement with a positive fit.
Hysteresis loop
When the metal spring is tensioned, work is done, which is then released again when the tension is released. The spring work (W) always results as the area below the spring characteristic. The suspension behavior of steel springs can be
Design of metal springs – practical service tools
Compression springs, extension springs and torsion springs are typical C-parts: They are not the focus of the procurement process, but are installed in almost all technical applications. The requirements for the spring design are very versatile and individual. Compressive, tensile
Compact knowledge about tension springs!
How is a extension spring manufactured, what influence do extension spring designs, loop shapes, spring characteristics and spring materials have, and what do technical terms such as preload, relaxation, yield strength and dynamic loading mean for a tension spring? In
Relaxation for springs
In metal springs, a loss of force occurs under permanent tension and higher temperatures, which is called relaxation. This loss of force increases with increasing temperature and load duration. This loss of force is given as a percentage of the
Technical springs – compact knowledge
What exactly does the term “technical springs” mean? Which types of metal springs are they meant and for which force states and applications are they used? Gutekunst Federn and Gutekunst Formfedern will briefly address these questions and other properties in
