Product Information

When calculated against the pressures it needs to withstand, however, we can figure out how best to solve your problems through the design of our springs. Tubular spring steel is used in the landing gear of some small aircraft due to its ability to absorb the impact of landing.

Other Springs Articles Extensive Network of Approved Suppliers (Raw Materials, Special Processes and Production Components) Iron in itself is a soft metal. Alloying it with carbon increases its strength and hardness. Its carbon content can range from 0.05 to 0.30% for mild steels and 0.30 to 1.70% for high carbon steels that can still respond to heat treatment. Enumerated below are some of the steels used as spring materials.Stainless Type 420, SAE 51420 (13 percent chromium): This is the best stainless steel for use in large diameters above 0.1875 inch and is frequently used in smaller sizes. It is formed in the annealed condition and then hardened and tempered. It does not exhibit its stainless properties until after it is hardened. Clean bright surfaces provide the best corrosion resistance, therefore the heat-treating scale must be removed. Bright hardening methods are preferred. Chromium-Silicon Alloy (ASTM A401): These are available in cold-drawn or oil-tempered conditions. Chromium-silicon steel alloy can be heat treated to high hardness without losing much ductility. They are suitable in high impact loadings such as firearm recoil springs.

A torsion spring is a mechanical device that stores and releases rotational energy. Each end of the torsion spring is connected to a mechanical component. As the spring is rotated around its axis on one end, the winding of the spring is tightened and stores potential energy... Contract Manufacturing a b c Oberg, Erik, and F D. Jones. Machinery's Handbook. 15th ed. New York: The Industrial Press, 1956. 1546–1551. Print. Drawbar Springs: These are helical compression springs used in tension. This design is safer than helical tension springs since being in compression prevents the spring from deforming excessively. This also protects the spring from permanent deformation. The maximum deflection is the solid height.Springs can be classified according to the type and nature of the force acting on the spring. These can be further categorized by their geometry, form, and construction. The most common form of spring is a helical spring, which is made from a wire with a circular cross-section. Springs with special constructions exist for absorbing heavier loads or for fitting in mechanisms with small clearances. Helical Compression Springs: Hooke‘s law is used to model the behavior of springs. It states that the force applied to the spring is directly proportional to its deflection, provided that it is within the elastic range. To find the magnitude of the force (F), the elongation distance is multiplied by a spring rate.

The most common form of spring is a helical spring, which is made from a wire with a circular cross-section. Lee Spring offers a wide selection of metal springs for sale. Metal springs are available in a wide range of material options, characteristics, and price ranges. Selecting the right metal spring material for a particular application is an important step when selecting a metal spring. Some considerations related to metal springs are operating temperature, regulatory requirements and corrosion resistance. Spiral or Power Springs: These are long bands or strips wound into two or more coils with one end clamped and the other attached to a shaft or wheel. The spring stores energy when the shaft is rotated. This is used as a balancing element in mechanical watches that gives the oscillating time controller its natural frequency. Thus, in watchmaking, they are also called balance springs or hairsprings.

Many grades of steel can be hardened and tempered to increase elasticity and resist deformation; however, some steels are inherently more elastic than others: High-Carbon Valve Spring Steel (ASTM A230): These are high-carbon steels with uniform quality and temper. They are drawn the same way as oil-tempered steels, but their heat treatment is more controlled. As the name suggests, they are used as valve springs in automotive and aircraft engines which require corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, and good performance at high temperatures. Each of these steel types must be carefully chosen, created and modelled into the spring of your choice, and each subtle adjustment to the make-up of the material must change how we approach the spring-making process, too.
