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
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
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
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
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
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.
The right metal spring
Selecting the right metal spring for the desired application is not always easy. In many technical books with constructional basics, the subject of springs is treated in a very general way. If you are looking for a standard spring, you
Compression springs spring systems
To absorb forces and movements are sometimes also Spring systems used. Due to the different arrangement of Compression springs A wide variety of force properties can be generated. Simple spring systems are: Compression springs parallel connection The springs are arranged
