Procurement of metal springs
Standard or customized
Compression springs, tension springs and torsion springs are required in almost all technical applications. This makes spring design extremely important. The questions regarding spring design are manifold: compression, tension or bending load? Standard or extremely resistant? With a linear or progressive characteristic curve? Small or large? Straight or with shaped ends?
Gutekunst Federn offers high flexibility thanks to its extensive catalog range with 12,603 spring sizes from stock and individual spring production up to 12 mm wire thickness. If one of the catalog springs in the classic cylindrical design in standard steel EN 10270-1 and stainless steel 1.4310 fits, then the spring requirement is quickly covered. In special applications, the metal spring is tailored precisely to the installation situation and individual requirements: as a cylindrical spring, conical spring, barrel spring or beehive spring with variable spring characteristics and coil spacing. The design and calculation of compression springs, tension springs and torsion springs is carried out in accordance with DIN EN 13906 using various design aids.
Gutekunst has developed its own spring calculation program for compression, tension and torsion springs for the optimum design and calculation of individual metal springs, taking into account the German standard for springs. The calculation can be carried out according to a wide range of variants, for example according to displacement and force ratios or simply according to dimensional characteristics.
The spring calculation program calculates the desired metal spring with all important parameters, also offers various diagrams (such as the spring characteristics and the Goodman diagram) as well as a direct interface to the CAD generator for 2D and 3D CAD data. The WinFSB spring calculation program is available free of charge as an online spring calculation program and as a downloadable PC version.
