Spring Steel Compression Spring

Spring steel compression spring is an important component widely used in mechanical and electronic industries. It has attracted much attention for its unique properties and wide application fields.

Spring steel compression spring is a helical spring under axial pressure, and its material is mainly spring steel, which has a high strength limit, yield limit, elastic limit and fatigue limit, and can meet the performance requirements of the spring in the process of repeated stress.

Spring Steel Compression Spring

Shape and classification of spring steel compression springs:

  1. shape: the shape of the compression spring is diverse, including cylindrical, conical, convex, concave and a small number of non-circular, etc. The design of these shapes depends on the specific application scenario and performance requirements.
  2. classification: according to the material, structure, use, etc., compression springs can be further subdivided into a variety of types, such as ordinary cylindrical compression springs, special-shaped compression springs, etc.

Application field:

Spring steel compression springs have a wide range of applications, covering almost all industries that require elastic components, including but not limited to:

  • Home appliance industry: such as washing machine, refrigerator and other home appliance products in shock absorption, buffer components.
  • Motor equipment: suspension systems, shock absorbers, clutches and other components of vehicles such as cars and motorcycles are widely used.
  • Mechanical equipment: Various mechanical equipment in the transmission device, control mechanism, etc., also often use compression springs to achieve its function.
  • Electronics, motors, computers, information and other fields: as a precision component, it is used to ensure the stable operation and accurate control of equipment.
  • Automobile, bicycle, hardware tools, gifts, toys and other industries: also has a wide range of applications.

Manufacturing process

  • The manufacturing process of spring steel compression spring is relatively complex, mainly including the following steps:
  • Material selection: Select the appropriate spring steel material according to the use conditions and performance requirements.
  • Winding: The spring wire is wound to the desired shape and size by cold winding or hot winding. The cold winding method is suitable for springs with smaller diameters, while the hot winding method is suitable for springs with larger diameters.
  • Heat treatment: Heat treatment of the wound spring to improve its mechanical properties and stability.
  • Surface treatment: Surface treatment of the spring as needed, such as galvanizing, painting, etc., to improve its corrosion resistance and aesthetics.

Inspection and testing:

The manufactured spring is strictly inspected and tested to ensure that its performance meets the design requirements.

Performance requirements:

The performance requirements of spring steel compression springs mainly include the following aspects:

  • Stiffness: refers to the force or moment generated by the spring under the unit deformation. The stiffness directly affects the working performance and stability of the spring.
  • Strength: refers to the ability of the spring to resist damage when subjected to external forces. Insufficient strength can cause the spring to break or fail during use.
  • Stability: refers to the ability of the spring to maintain its stable performance during a long working period. The spring with good stability can ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
  • Fatigue life: refers to the number of cycles in which the spring can maintain its performance until failure during repeated stress. The length of fatigue life directly affects the service life and reliability of the spring.

As an important elastic element, spring steel compression spring plays an irreplaceable role in the mechanical and electronic industries. With the continuous progress of science and technology and the continuous improvement of technology, it is believed that its application field performance will be more extensive and excellent.
