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:…

Disc Springs VS Belleville Washers

Do you know the Difference Between Disc Springs and Belleville Washers? Disc Springs and Belleville Washers are both conically shaped spring washers typically made from spring steels and designed to be loaded axially. While similar in apperance, they are used for different applications. Disc Springs are commonly used in vehicle braking systems, valves, shock absorbers, clutches, friction assemblies, and pressure controls and regulators, etc. Belleville Washers are primarily used in heavy duty applications fastened together with a bolt where the load is considered static.

Different types of springs-Simflex supply.

We use springs in a lot of our daily use items. In this video we have jotted down some of the most commonly used springs. These include-Compression Spring, Extension spring, Torsion Spring, Die springs. Disc Or Belleville Spring. Compression Springs are open-coil helical springs.As compression springs are compressed to a shorter height,they provide a force (push) to return the spring back to its normal height. Extension springs are helical wound coils that usually have hooks, loops, or end coils that are pulled out and formed from each end of the body. The function of an extension spring is to…

How to measure a compression spring?

How to measure a compression spring? If you need custom a compression spring, we should know the following data: Wire diameter, outside diameter, free length, total coils and end type. If you do not know how to measure the spring, please see the video. If you need custom a spring, please contact us at sales5@simflex.cn; First, measure the spring wire diameter, preferably to 3 decimal places for accuracy using calipers, then take the average. Please noted that take wire diameter in the middle of the spring, not one of the ends. Second, measure the outside diameter of the coils….

Some common uses for disc springs

Disc Springs are conically-shaped precision components designed to be axially loaded. Disc Springs are also known as belleville disc springs, belleville springs, belleville washers, or simply conical washers. Disc springs are versatile and are used in many manufacturing and plant applications. Some common uses for disc springs include: Vibration control Thermal expansion Relaxation and Bolt Creep Problems Energy storage Slip and overload clutches Valves Spring actuated brakes
