Compression Springs
|
|
Compression springs are wound to operate under compressive load and return the mechanism(s) to the original position when the load is removed.
|
| |
Conical / Taper Springs
|
|
Conical or taper springs are typically compression springs whose diameter reduces from the base to the tip.
|
| |
Constant Force Springs
|
|
Typically spiral-wound springs that are designed to unwind and provide a constant force along the unwinding length, in comparison to the deflection-dependent force provided by linear compression or tension springs.
|
| |
Die Springs
|
|
Heavy-duty springs with very linear spring-constant characteristics; generally compression-type springs. Used in die, tooling, and fixturing applications.
|
| |
Disc / Washer Springs
|
|
Disc springs include spring washers and other elements that generally lay flat for limited-deflection service such as Belleville washers, wave washers / springs, etc.
|
| |
Extension Springs
|
|
Extension springs are designed to provide a restoring force to elements that separate during their service operation. Whereas compression springs often have flat ends, extension springs may have various end configurations for coupling or connecting to these elements, such as hooks, loops, or eyelets.
|
| |
Flat Springs
|
|
Flat springs are made from flat strips of metal; they often serve as spring clips or in other retaining or positioning and offset applications.
|
| |
Garter Springs
|
|
Helical springs, typically extension springs, whose ends are joined to form a circle. The resultant spring is often used to encircle a radial lip seal or other component to maintain bias and compensate for wear. Typically, one end of the spring helix is tapered down, and inserted into the other end to form the joint.
|
| |
Leaf Springs
|
|
Leaf springs are flat strips that provide suspension support for heavy-duty cyclic applications such as automotive and truck suspensions.
|
| |
Power / Clock Springs
|
|
Category of springs that stores and releases rotational energy in the form of torque; they can be referred to as power springs, clock springs, or motor springs. They are made from spiral-wound flat metal strips, and are available in a wide range of sizes and end attachments. They are used in applications such as clock and mechanical motors, and rewind devices and reels.
|
| |
Torsion Springs
|
|
Torsion springs are wound to fit either inside a hole or around a cylindrical element. They typically have ends that project transverse to the spring axis. They are used to control relative rotational motion between the element (such as a lid that flips up) and the spring axis. Motion is typically coincident with the axis of rotation.
|
| |
Variable Pitch Springs
|
|
Spring or coil pitch varies along length of spring; typically symmetrical about spring center, but some custom applications may require asymmetrical variable pitch.
|
| |
Stamping
|
|
Stamping is the process of impressing surface definition and three-dimensional designs onto materials with pressurized tools and dies. It is often an auxiliary service of spring winding companies.
|
| |
Wireforming
|
|
Wireforming is the process of drawing and fabricating thin wire into clips, rings application-specific springs, etc.
|
| |
Other / Special
|
|
Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary spring type or service capabilities, including specialty geometry or end configuration.

|
|
| |
Materials
|
|
Material selection considerations include tensile or impact strength, magnetic and electric properties, and corrosion resistance. Material flow during the stamping or forming process is another significant consideration when deep draws or especially thin or thick parts are desired.

Spring Steel
|
|
Standard industrial grade of steel for spring making; exhibits good elastic and return properties.
|
| |
Music Wire
|
|
Music wire is a common and relatively inexpensive high-carbon steel alloy used for spring manufacture. It is cold drawn and offers uniform tensile strength.
|
| |
Stainless Steel
|
|
Stainless steel exhibits good corrosion resistance for specialty applications.
|
| |
Exotic Metals
|
|
Metals and their alloys with special properties and applications; include such materials as beryllium copper, beryllium nickel, niobium, tantalum, and titanium.
|
| |
Plastic
|
|
Broad category including all thermoplastic materials; plastic springs can be used in light-to-medium duty applications for quiet and corrosion-resistant qualities.

AS9000 is a set of quality guidelines and requirements published by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) in cooperation with major aerospace manufacturers. AS9000 is based on ISO 9001 but maintains a particular focus on the aerospace industry.
|
| |
ISO 9001:2000
|
|
ISO 9001:2000 establishes requirements for company quality management systems. Standards range from manufacturing to services such as design, development, production, and installation.
