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
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
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
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
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
Procurement of metal springs
Always the right compression spring, extension spring and torsion spring – from the quick spring selection in the catalog, to the design and calculation of individual metal springs, to the CAD data generator for standard springs and freely calculated metal
