The tolerances for compression springs are defined in accordance with DIN 2095 (DIN EN 15800). Quality grade 1 describes the smallest tolerance zone (higher product price) and quality grade 3 the largest tolerance zone. Our compression springs are manufactured to
Calculate spring force
The spring force – also known as the tension force – arises when an elastic body is pulled apart or compressed – for example one Metal spring made of spring steel wire . An opposing force acts in it, which
Compression springs according to DIN 2098
The DIN 2098 standard includes a selection of cold formed cylindrical compression springs From 0.1 to 10 mm wire thickness in 525 standardized compression spring dimensions. The compression springs are of quality grade 2 according to DIN EN 15800 from
Calculate spring rate for cylindrical springs
The spring rate, also called spring constant or spring hardness, depends on the spring material and the shape of the compression spring, extension spring or torsion spring. The formula for calculating the spring rate for cylindrical springs made of round
Spring end bearings and buckling limits
Depending on the size, guidance and bearing, compression springs are at risk of buckling. When guided by mandrel or sleeve, the spring cannot buckle. In other cases, it depends on the design of the bearing(EN 13906-1 / 9.14). The spring
Design of metal springs – Part 1 “Basics”
Below is the summary of the basics about Spring design of Compression springs , Tension springs and Leg springs . Technical springs are still one of the most important machine elements today and are used successfully in vehicles, precision mechanical
Compression springs in space
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
Types of stress compression springs
Before interpreting the Compression spring It should basically be clarified whether the intended type of stress is static, quasi-static or dynamic. Static or quasi-static stress Time-constant (resting) load or time-changing load with less than 10,000 strokes in total or small
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
Conical compression springs
With conical compression springs, the diameter of the changes Design towards the ends, that is, gets bigger or smaller. They are mainly used when the installation space is limited in the axial direction. The specialty: the coils of conical compression
