\"LeafLeaf springs<\/a> are technical springs<\/a> the end Spring band steel<\/a> or Spring steel sheet<\/a> that can be produced in any desired shape and function. By the opposite Spring force<\/a> In the case of elastic deformation, the leaf spring works for a wide variety of spring technology applications and is therefore almost always produced individually on request. This flexibility is also the reason why always new Leaf spring types<\/a> be used for ever new tasks. In addition to the classic types of leaf springs, such as Elliptical springs<\/a> , Parabolic springs<\/a> and trapezoidal springs in vehicle production include custom-made ones Flat springs<\/a> , Form springs<\/a> , Contact springs<\/a> , Coil springs<\/a> , Spring washers<\/a> , Lock washers<\/a> , which usually provide spring forces for pushing, pulling, holding or clamping, in mechanical engineering to the important spring types made of spring band steel or spring steel sheet.<\/p>\n

\"SpiralLeaf springs are used in all industries. They are used, for example, in the Electrical engineering<\/a> as Contact springs<\/a> for medium and low voltage transmission for lighting fixtures, lamps and automatic circuit breakers or as Battery contact<\/a> . In the Medical technology<\/a> leaf springs are used, for example, in ventilators and for dosing applications. Among other things because of the strict handling and hygiene regulations that apply to leaf springs by their material<\/a> – and Surface properties<\/a> can be implemented optimally. This also makes them the means of choice for applications in the Food-<\/a> or cosmetics industry. Thanks to their reliable mechanical properties, leaf springs are also used in aerospace engineering – in a wide range of individual, tailor-made shapes and functions, both indoors and outdoors.<\/p>\n

A leaf spring is usually made to measure and is designed and calculated individually for an application due to its required form and function. Through the individual and complex design<\/a> the leaf spring is a standardized design and calculation<\/a> only to a limited extent by calculating Bending radii<\/a> and Bending stresses<\/a> possible. A leaf spring is designed iteratively with proof of strength and functionality. In addition to the finite element method, many years of practical experience are required for the design. This is why Gutekunst Formfedern<\/a> documents in detail all design-relevant information for subsequent designs of leaf springs with each individual production. For a standardized form of the Spring clip<\/a> However, there is an exception, it is also used at Gutekunst Standard dimensions from stock<\/a> offered.<\/p>\n

There are many decisions to be made when designing a leaf spring: from the Type of leaf spring<\/a> about the spring shape, its dimensions, the spring fastening and the Spring steel<\/a> to the manufacturing and testing options. Decision-making aids are mainly calculations on the deformation behavior and the load-bearing capacity of the leaf springs. Gutekunst Formfedern develops and produces individual Leaf spring types<\/a> how Form springs<\/a> , Flat springs<\/a> , Contact springs<\/a> , Spring washers<\/a> , Lock washers<\/a> and Coil springs<\/a> as samples, prototypes as well as in small quantities and large series.
