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 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
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
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
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
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
The spring blog
What does the Relaxation with metal springs? This has little to do with a recovery phase of the spring, but describes the unintentional increasing loss of force of the spring with increasing ambient temperature and duration of load. Or what
Spring steel for low temperatures
Whether in cooling systems, in space or other low temperature applications. Metal springs often have to withstand temperatures of up to – 200 degrees. Despite rising tensile strenght low temperatures have an unfavorable effect on the material, as the toughness
