Which spring steel grades and alloys, with their specific properties, are suitable for which spring applications? And which surface treatments or coatings are used to obtain which additional properties in the form of corrosion protection, electrical conductivity, medical purity, gliding
Leaf springs selection
Under the umbrella term Leaf springs become different Types of feathers summarized, which can be used in countless applications. They range from simple spiral springs and flat springs to complex form springs and parabolic springs that adapt precisely to the
Stamping and forming technology offer
In stamping and forming technology, stamped and bent metal parts are produced in any desired shape. They are among the components that are most frequently used across industries. The range includes simple metal moldings, spring clips or pipe clamps, spring
Calculate span energy
The tension energy is generated due to the elastic deformation of a metal spring. It is a form of potential energy and indicates how much mechanical work occurs when the metal spring is loaded or tensioned. To do mechanical work,
Form springs, flat springs and leaf springs
Shaped springs, flat springs and leaf springs are among the oldest spring applications. Today they are indispensable construction elements in products in many branches of industry. They are mainly used in mechanical engineering, vehicle construction as well as precision engineering
Lasering, punching, forming and assembling
The offer of Metal springs is as extensive as his Possible applications . In order to procure the optimal metal spring for the respective application, you need a partner who is very familiar with all manufacturing processes. the Gutekunst Formfedern
Important when forming spring steel sheet
When forming shaped springs, flat shaped springs, spring clips, contact springs and leaf springs, the rolling direction of the spring steel sheet and spring strip steel is an important factor, among other things. This is because the stretching of the
Stress-strain diagram spring steel
The stress-strain diagram is also used to determine the static load capacity of spring steel. The stress-strain diagram shows the strain behaviour of the spring steel up to fracture during the tensile test. For the designer, the stress-strain diagram is
Calculate moment of inertia of area
In the design of flat springs, shaped springs and flat shaped springs, the area moment of inertia is often calculated in addition to the bending stress. The area moment of inertia is a geometric quantity used in strength theory. It
Overview of spring types
What do we mean by springs? Springs are technical components made of spring steel that can deform elastically. When subjected to stress, they give in and absorb force. When they relax, they release this energy and return to their original
