Hookesche’s law describes the elastic deformation of solids in a linear special case of the Elasticity Act. In this process, the elastic force of the body changes with stretching or squeezing. When applying compression springs, extension springs and torsion springs
Spring systems for special tasks
Spring systems are spring-technical applications made up of several individual springs, which together realize special tasks. These individually designed spring systems can be designed for a wide variety of applications. By selecting and arranging different springs, practically every desired force
Spring search made easy
Compression springs, extension springs, torsion springs, cotter pins, flat springs, shaped springs and many more types of springs – the world of metal springs is complex and extensive. Technical springs perform permanent work in countless products in secret. Now imagine
Surface treatments for steel springs
Compression springs , partly too Tension springs and Leg springs The subsequent treatment of their surfaces gives them additional properties – depending on the application, they become, for example, harder, more rustproof or more heat-resistant. Gutekunst feathers offers for his
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
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
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
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
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.
