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
Tolerances compression springs
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
Hookese’s Law
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
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
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
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
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
Information extension springs
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
