What types of springs are best for high-temperature environments?
For high-temperature applications up to 250°C, we recommend springs made from stainless steel 316 or Inconel, which offer excellent heat resistance and durability. Always consider the specific temperature range and consult our technical team for customized solutions.
How do I determine the right spring rate for my application?
The spring rate, measured in N/mm, depends on the wire diameter, coil diameter, and number of active coils. Use the formula: k = (G * d^4) / (8 * D^3 * N), where G is the modulus of rigidity, d is wire diameter, D is mean coil diameter, and N is number of coils. For assistance, provide your load and deflection requirements, and we can calculate it for you.
What materials are used for corrosion-resistant hardware?
We use materials like stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316), brass, or aluminum with protective coatings such as galvanization or anodizing. These materials prevent rust and extend product life in humid or corrosive environments, making them ideal for outdoor or marine applications.
Can you provide custom spring designs?
Yes, we offer custom spring designs tailored to your specifications. Provide details like dimensions, load requirements, material preferences, and application environment. Our engineering team will design and prototype springs that meet your exact needs, ensuring performance and reliability.
How do I maintain and extend the life of springs and hardware?
Regular maintenance includes cleaning to remove debris, lubricating moving parts with appropriate oils, and inspecting for wear or deformation. Avoid overloading and exposure to extreme conditions without proper protection. Using quality materials from the start also significantly extends lifespan.
What are the delivery times for standard vs. custom orders?
Standard orders typically ship within 3-5 business days, while custom orders may take 2-4 weeks depending on complexity and quantity. Rush services are available for urgent needs; contact our sales team for expedited options and accurate timelines.
