Rectangular Spring Wire
Manufactured to tight tolerances and stringent quality control standards.
Rectangular spring wire. Specializing in fine diameter non standard cross section and specialty material wire. Torsion springs are produced from rectangular or round wire it is more typical for a manufacturer to use round wire because of the premium cost of rectangular wire additionally torsion springs are normally heat treated at a low temperature to. Design of a cold coiled helical spring made from rectangular section wire subjected to a static or infrequently varying load. In producing springs from rectangular wire the wire cross section distorts and becomes keystoned the wire axial dimension b1 can be estimated from.
The general comments on round wire torsion springs apply to springs with rectangular wire. By using square or rectangular wires you can achieve springs that are stronger than traditional round wires and yet feature the same product properties and design. A rectangular spring is a compression spring that is formed in an oval shape as opposed to a cylindrical shape as most compression springs are. Spring shapes include oval rectangular oval square triangular.
Even though stress distribution around the rectangular cross section is not as uniform as the round wire section the energy storage capacity is higher because more. B 1 b c 0 5 c when axial length is critical keystone shaped wire can be purchased. Astm a 231 astm a 401 die springs. Materials include 302 304 316 17 7 stainless steel music wire tin zinc galvanized music wire phosphor bronze beryllium copper brass hard drawn mb galvanized hard drawn oil tempered.
Springs made from rectangular wire with the width of the rectangle perpendicular to the spring axis store more energy in a smaller space than equivalent round wire springs. Find details of companies offering rectangular wire springs at best price. Rectangular springs range in wire sizes from 005 in. Either chrome vanadium astm a 231 or chrome silicon astm a 401.
Manufactured from rectangular shaped wire diamond die springs meet stringent quality standards throughout production from start to finish. The space available permits a maximum outside dia d o i d m of 25 5 mm and a rod of 14 mm should pass freely inside the spring in fitment. Listed manufacturers suppliers dealers exporters are offering best deals for rectangular wire springs. All parts are painted white with ends dipped for color coding.
For some applications where the cold winding could produce cracking during forming square rectangular wire springs are formed in the annealed condition and then heat treated. Alternatively you can also produce lighter and smaller springs with comparable spring loadings as round wire.
