会社のニュース What are industrial springs used for?

Industrial springs are critical components in a wide range of machinery and equipment. These mechanical devices store and release energy, absorb shock, and maintain force between two contacting surfaces.

What are the four types of springs?
Four Types of Springs

Among the diverse array of springs, four primary types of springs are pivotal to various applications: helical, compression, extension, and torsion springs. Each type is designed with specific applications in mind.

What is the strongest spring material?
Chrome vanadium
Chrome vanadium is the strongest and toughest of all spring steels and has excellent fatigue properties. Music wire is a high-carbon steel alloy with good fatigue life and can handle high stresses but is brittle. Stainless steel is a corrosion-resistant material that can withstand harsh environments and temperatures.

How are industrial springs made?
Springs are made through a multi-step process: wire is coiled on a CNC machine, cut to length, stress-relieved through heat treatment, ground flat at the ends, shot peened for fatigue resistance, and finally tested for load accuracy.
