How to distinguish between ISO standard die springs?

How to distinguish between ISO standard die springs? Springs are an integral component in press tooling. The strength is indicated by the color. Starting with the lightest load. And ending with our super heavy load weight. We have all ISO 10243 series die springs in different colors. You can find the most suitable load for your needs. Please pay attention to the rectangular wire die springs have a cross-section greater than that of round wire springs. Given a larger mass and resulting in greater force. Do not use a die spring at its maximum stroke length. As this will…

Usage and application of helical spring

Usage and application of helical spring Helical spring is a mechanical part that uses elasticity to work. Parts made of spring steel deform under external forces and return to their original shape when the forces are removed. Springs are classified according to the form of load bearing into compression springs, extension springs and torsion springs. Compression spring The most common helical spring that bears axial pressure and can work independently. Application: Most commonly used in construction equipment, vehicle suspension systems, switches, or combiners. Extension spring The main feature of the stretch spring is that it can stretch and compress in a certain proportion….

Springs are key components to the machinery.

Springs are key components that contribute to the general functionality and dependability of the machinery that is manufactured. Stamping Presses: To generate the necessary force for the stamping operation, stamping presses use springs. Die-Cutting Machines: To regulate the cutting force and pressure, die-cutting machines use springs. Springs are used in injection molding machines to supply the necessary pressure and force throughout the injection and molding processes. Packaging Machinery: Filling, sealing, and labeling machines, as well as other types of packaging machinery, all use springs. Tools for cutting and machining: Springs are used in these tools to provide stability, dampen…

Difference between Helical Spring vs Coil Spring.

Difference between Helical Spring vs Coil Spring. The terms “helical spring” and “coil spring” are often used interchangeably, but they can have specific meanings depending on the context. Generally, both refer to springs formed by coiling wire, but there are some distinctions: Helical Spring: A helical spring is a broader term that encompasses various types of springs with a helical (spiral or coiled) shape. It includes compression springs, extension springs, and torsion springs, all of which fall under the category of helical springs. Coil Spring: A coil spring, on the other hand, specifically refers to a type of helical…

Torsion springs">Torsion springs

Torsion springs">

Torsion springs Torsion springs are operated by exerting a rotary force, also called torque. These helical springs have ends, which attach to other components and the rotation (twisting) of these parts causes the springs to exert a force that enables them to return to their original positions. As a torsion spring manufacturer, we craft an expansive collection of round-wire torsion springs. These can be tailored to individual requirements, including double torsion springs, different finishes, or custom ends. We also have a large selection of materials, so we can supply products to you as you require.     Contact us…

How to Measure a Compression Spring?

How to Measure a Compression Spring? Measuring a compression spring accurately is essential to ensure proper fit and performance in various applications.  Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to measure a compression spring: Tools You’ll Need: Calipers (digital or vernier) Tape measure or ruler Flat surface Pen and paper for recording measurements Steps: Gather Necessary Information: Before measuring the spring, it’s helpful to know the following information: Wire diameter: The thickness of the spring’s wire. Outer diameter (OD): The diameter of the coil, measured at its widest point. Inner diameter (ID): The diameter of the coil, measured at its…

Fatigue test on disc springs.

A fatigue test on disc springs involves subjecting these mechanical components to repeated cycles of loading and unloading to assess their endurance and performance under cyclic loading conditions. Here’s how a fatigue test on disc springs typically works: Test Setup: Specimen Preparation: Disc springs of the desired material and dimensions are selected for testing. Test Apparatus: Tianjin Simflex has its own testing machine is used to perform the fatigue test. The machine applies cyclic loads to the disc spring while monitoring the number of cycles and the applied load. Test Procedure: 1. Initial Condition: The disc spring is placed…

How to choose materials for springs?

How to choose materials for springs? As spring designers, before creating your spring, we need to know precisely what it will be used for, and we need to be aware of factors that may impact how the springs will perform, such as temperature and corrosion. For instance, if the spring will be used under high temperatures, then we’ll choose – Inconel alloys which are great for extreme environments since it still retains their strength even when temperatures exceed 800 degrees. If you work in the oil and gas industry and require springs that can withstand corrosion from saltwater, then…

Compression Springs are everywhere, also where you can’t imagine!

Compression Springs are everywhere, also where you can’t imagine! Compression springs are widely used in a variety of applications across many industries. These springs are designed to resist compressive forces and store energy when they are compressed. Their ability to absorb and release energy makes them incredibly versatile, and they can be found in places you might not immediately think of. Here are a few examples: Automotive Industry: Compression springs are used in vehicles for various purposes, such as in suspension systems, valve systems, and clutch mechanisms. They help absorb shocks and vibrations, ensuring a smoother ride. Consumer Electronics:…
