Extension springs or helical tension springs absorb forces when they are pulled apart, which they release when they relax. Gutekunst Federn offers quick selection and procurement of extension springs in its catalog program on Federnshop.com 4280 different sizes in mild
What does spring stiffness mean?
The spring stiffness of compression springs, extension springs and torsion springs, also known as the spring constant or spring moment rate, is a measure of the hardness of the metal spring. It indicates how much force is required to compress
Design spring body
Metal springs are used in various designs. In addition to the cylindrical design, which is most commonly used, there is also the conical, barrel-shaped design or for special ones dynamic Compression spring applications the beehive spring. Each design has a
Tension spring tolerances
The tolerances for tension springs are defined in accordance with DIN 2097 (DIN EN 15800). Quality grade 1 describes the smallest tolerance zone (higher product price) and quality grade 3 the largest tolerance zone. Our tension 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
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
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
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
Range of springs made to measure
Compression springs, extension springs and torsion springs are typical C-parts for most companies: They are not the focus of the procurement process, but are used in almost all technical applications. The requirements for the springs are very versatile and individual.
Types of stress extension springs
Description Formula symbol tension springs Before interpreting the extension spring it must be clarified whether the intended type of stress is a static or a dynamic stress acts. No general fatigue strength values can be given for dynamic loads on
