Compression Springs

We take immense pride in being a prominent and trusted manufacturer of compression springs in China. With years of experience, state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques, and a commitment to excellence, we have established ourselves as professional maker in the industry.

The compression springs is under pressure to the spiral spring, in which the material section is round, rectangular and is also useful multi strand steel rayon coiled spring, generally for pitch, compression spring shapes: cylindrical, conical, convex and concave and a small amount of non circular, have the gap between the ring and the ring compression spring, spring shrinkage deformation when subjected to external load, deformation energy storage.

Compression springs Feature

The compression spring provides a resistance force to the pressure of the external load. A compressed spring is usually a metal wire, such as a pitch coil, and a fixed line diameter. The use of a compression spring more open coil external load pressure (such as gravity pressing wheel, or the body pressure in the mattress) power supply resistance. That is, they are pushing back to resist external pressure. A compressed spring is usually a metal wire, such as a pitch coil, and a fixed line diameter. In addition, there is a conical compression spring, or a conical and linear combination of springs. According to different applications, compression springs can be used to resist pressure or storage of energy. A circular wire is the most commonly used compression spring, but it also has a compressed spring made from a square, rectangular, and specially shaped wire.

Parameter

Calculation Formula for Compression spring:
The meaning of each representative in the above formula is:
G = shear modulus of elasticity [MPa, psi] (G value is: steel wire 8000, stainless steel 7200)
D = line diameter [mm, in]
N = effective coil number [-]
D = center diameter [mm, in]
K = spring coefficient [N/mm, lb/in]
This formula is the formula for calculating the stiffness of the spring. The stiffness multiplied by the working stroke is equal to the working force of the spring [2].
Through the upper form, we can draw that the parameters of the compression spring must be composed of material, line diameter, center diameter, effective circle number, total length of spring, working height and demand strength. If a spring is not specially required for strength, it does not provide the parameters of the working height of the spring and the strength of the demand.

Application

Compression springs have a wide range of applications across various industries. These springs, known for their ability to store energy when compressed and release it when the force is removed, are integral components in many mechanical systems. Here are some common applications of compression springs:

• Automotive Industry
• Industrial Machinery
• Aerospace and Defense
• Medical Devices
• Electronics
• Furniture
• Agricultural Equipment
• Garage Doors
• ETC

Strengthening process of compression spring

Compressed spring is a hardware accessory with a spiral geometric shape formed by wire, so its hardening and strengthening operation is more difficult than flat hardware accessories (such as stamping parts). In addition, it is necessary to strictly control the hardening effect of the transverse section of the pressure spring, so as to fully understand the resistance of the pressure spring to fatigue fracture after use.

Compressed spring hardening generally adopts two methods: shot peening hardening and heat treatment hardening.

Shot peening and hard spring pressing treatment: To handle a batch of pressure springs, they can be individually transported to the shot blasting chamber by conveyor belts. There is a set of parallel rod tracks installed in the shot blasting chamber, which strengthen and roll to the rolling position, driving the edge of the pressure spring to rotate forward. This rotation allows high-speed shot flow to pass through the middle of each coil of the pressure spring and hit the metal surface of the inner ring, which is precisely the area where the stress of the pressure spring is most concentrated, Shot peening is the best strengthening method for suspension springs, and the fatigue life of high stress springs can be increased by more than four times after appropriate shot peening.

2. Remarks of Compression spring

2.1. Spring heat treatment generally requires quenching, fine grain size, and less residual austenite. The depth of decarburization layer on each side should comply with:< Φ 6mm steel wire or steel plate should Φ 6mm steel wire plate should have a diameter or thickness of<1.0%
2.2. Large springs are immediately quenched and tempered after hot processing, while medium-sized springs are formed after cold processing (raw materials require spheroidized structure or most of the spheroidized structure), and then quenched and tempered. Small springs are formed after cold processing with cold rolled steel strips, cold drawn steel wires, etc., and then tempered at low temperature
2.3. After treatment, it can be shot peened:
Compressed air of 40-50N/cm2 or a centrifuge with a linear speed of 70m/s will Φ 0.3-0.5mm (for small parts, valve springs, gears, etc.) Φ 0.6-0.8mm (for plate springs, crankshafts, half shafts, etc.) cast iron shot or quenched steel shot is sprayed onto the surface of the spring to strengthen the surface layer. The number of fatigue cycles can be increased by 8-13 times, and the service life can be increased by more than 2-2.5 times.
