Product Information

Springs can be made from lots of different materials, and not all are made from metal. The end-use for the spring will inevitably decide its form and the materials it is made from. Learn the difference between a titanium spring and a copper alloy spring here. Copper-base alloys are important spring materials because of their good electrical properties combined with their good resistance to corrosion. Although these materials are more expensive than the high-carbon and the alloy steels, they nevertheless are frequently used in electrical components and in sub-zero temperatures. Spring steel is commonly used in the manufacture of swords with rounded edges for training [12] or stage combat, [13] as well as sharpened swords for collectors and live combat. Barrel (Convex) and Barbell/Hourglass (Concave) Springs: These are helical springs with double cone geometries. They have the same advantages as that of conical springs. Hard-drawn (ASTM 227): These are the cheapest of the spring materials, with inferior qualities compared to music wire and oil-tempered steels. Hard-drawn wires are also cold worked, similar to music wires, but the drawing process used is less controlled than that of music wires.

where: N is the number of active coils of the spring. Modifying this equation to obtain the spring rate (k) results in the equation, Applications include piano wire (also known as [11] music wire) such as ASTM A228 (0.80–0.95% carbon), spring clamps, antennas, springs (e. g. vehicle coil springs or leaf springs), and s-tines. 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:Cylindrical Springs: This is the most common type of spring. The pitch on these springs is equal. Since the pitch and coil diameters do not change along the length of the spring, the spring rate is constant. Extensive Network of Approved Suppliers (Raw Materials, Special Processes and Production Components) Tubular spring steel is used in the landing gear of some small aircraft due to its ability to absorb the impact of landing. Variable Pitch, Cylindrical Spring: As the name suggests, these are cylindrical springs with varying pitch. This enables the spring to have a varying spring rate, which is also desirable for dynamic applications.

Flat springs are made of flat strip steel and are used in many applications and are ideally suited for applications where space is limited or where the spring can be used as part of mounting assembly. The flat spring design allows forming of specific features and profiles for a unique application and mounting location. Flat springs can be made in a variety of shape, sizes, designs and materials to work for many design applications. An experienced Lee Spring engineer knowledge in our fourslide, powerpress, and hand-forming tools can work with you from design concept through manufactured parts to assist with creating the optimal design of your custom flat spring. These are springs that operate with tensile loads. The free length of tension springs is almost equal to the solid length to allow more deflection when stretched. The design of tension springs is the same as compression springs but with more emphasis on the design of end hooks and the initial tension. Tension springs represent about 10% of all springs manufactured.These are non-helical springs with geometries such as wound strips, cantilever beams, disks, and bars. The cross-section of the spring material is subjected to different types of stresses, mostly combinations of bending and torsional stresses.

Hooke‘s law states that the force applied to the spring is directly proportional to its deflection, provided that it is within the elastic range.
