Design metal springs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Compression springs<\/a>, extension springs <\/a>and torsion springs<\/a> 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<\/a> are very versatile and individual. Compressive, tensile or bending load? Small or large? With shaped ends or straight? Extremely resistant or standard? Linear or progressive characteristic<\/a>?<\/p>\n

It is therefore important for the spring supplier to be able to react flexibly to customer requirements and to be able to supply individual special springs in addition to the standard springs<\/a> that are quickly available from stock. Gutekunst Federn offers exactly this flexibility with its extensive catalog range of<\/a> 12,603 spring sizes from stock and individual spring production<\/a> up to 12 millimeter wire thickness. If one of the catalog springs in classic cylindrical design in mild steel EN 10270-1 and stainless 1.431 fits, then the need is quickly covered. In special applications, the spring is precisely matched to the installation situation and the individual requirements: as a cylindrical spring, conical spring, barrel spring or beehive<\/a> spring with variable spring characteristics and coil spacings. The design and calculation of compression springs, extension springs and torsion springs is carried out in accordance with DIN EN 13906 using various design aids and Gutekunst Federn’s wealth of experience.<\/p>\n

Metal springs are small force accumulators that absorb energy when loaded and release it when unloaded. Depending on the requirements, each spring is made of spring steel<\/a> wire on a spring coiling machine. The metal spring is therefore a purely mechanical product. This means that the spring design is of great importance, because it is not possible to make subsequent changes via a software update or a function adjustment. Consequently, the development of a metal spring requires special attention and also special design tools such as a spring calculation program, utility information and design data in the form of CAD data and diagrams. And also, of course, an experienced spring manufacturer who can achieve the required properties by properly coiling spring steel wire.<\/p>\n

Gutekunst Federn<\/a> is such an experienced spring manufacturer, producing metal springs from spring steel wire since 1963. However, Gutekunst is also a service provider and development helper in all aspects of spring technology, providing the right service tools for spring development for its customers and interested parties.<\/p>\n
