Die Spring Basics

A die spring is a highly engineered mechanical spring with specific wire designs that stores energy elastically by resisting
movement when pressure is applied. The desired wire segment is selected to produce the maximum amount of force
within a minimal amount of space.
Altering Die Springs Each die spring is carefully engineered to perform within specific applications. Under no
circumstances should you alter a die spring. Altering a die spring will change its designed characteristics and allows
additional stresses to occur causing early failure. Grinding on the die spring not only changes the springs original
properties, but the heat from grinding can change the temper of the material and negatively affect the springs
performance.
Compressed Length The sum of the preload travel and operating travel.
Corrosion Frequently, die spring failure can be traced to corrosive elements which affect the surface of the springs
material, causing premature failure. Be aware of conditions that may affect the springs surface such as rust, lubricants,
soaps, and chemicals. Clean, protected die springs provide the best performance.
Cycle Rate The more rapidly a spring is cycled, the greater the need to operate in the recommended long life
deflections from the catalog.
Die Spring Guidance Make sure that the hole size and/or rod size match the die springs operating dimensions.
Duty Ranges We offer 4 separate duty ranges to best suit your applications Medium Duty, Medium Heavy Duty,
Heavy Duty, and Extra Heavy Duty. Do not mix springs of different duties.
Free Length The length of the spring without any load or force applied.
Hole Diameter Die springs are designed to be used in a hole dimension as indicated in the catalog. The actual O.D.
will be somewhat smaller to prevent interference.
Material In our case, the spring material is High Tensile Strength Chrome Silicon Material. We use an optimal
rectangular wire design. The maximum rated service temperature is 425F.
Operating Travel Operating travel is the deflection of the spring where it is operating between the preload and the
total travel of the spring during operation. This is the area where the actual work is performed.
Preload The initial force which is applied to a die spring. Preload is recommended to compress the first coils at each
end where additional stresses are present because of the turn-down of the end coils. Applying a preload will extend
the life of the spring.
Quality Our die springs are manufactured in an ISO9001-2000 facility.
Rates Die spring rates are normally listed as Pounds per Inch of deflection (i.e. 60 pounds load per inch.) As a die
spring is deflected, the loads will increase for the amount of travel it is deflected. That is, a spring with a 60lb/inch rate
will produce 60 lbs of resistance at 1" of travel, 120 lbs. at 2" of travel, etc. For purposes of simplification, the loads in
our catalog are shown in pounds needed to deflect a spring 1/10th of an inch. Simply multiply the rates given by 10 to
determine the actual spring rate.
Rod Diameter Die springs are designed to fit over a rod for guidance and the actual I.D. of the spring is actually somewhat larger to fit over a rod without interference.
Solid Height Solid height is the height of the spring when all of the coils are totally collapsed to solid. You never want
to operate a die spring close to this condition.

Spring Accessories
Spring Retainers
Our spring retainers hold individual springs firmly
in position while the die is being assembled or
disassembled. Pre-loading the spring is easy since
the springs can be set individually, which avoids
working against the combined force of the springs.
Available for springs 1-1/4", 1-1/2" and 2" diameters
and any free length where clearance permits.
Material: steel

Special Heavy Duty Compression Springs

CUSTOM SPRINGS
A custom spring is any spring that has:
Unique physical attributes
Special wire material, plating or paint
Custom free lengths, diameters, solid heights,
rates, number of coils or custom loads at a
given deflection
Critical tolerances
Specific inspection or certification requirements
Military specifications
100% inspection of critical characteristics
Statistical reports
Computer controlled multi-point tests

MANUFACTURING CAPABILITIES

Outside diameters from 3/8" to 2" (9.5mm to 63.5mm)

Free length from 1" to 17" (25.4mm to 431.8mm)
Round Spring wire 0.043" minimum to " (1.1mm to 12.7mm)
Standard rectangular wire up to 0.375" x 0.469"
(9.5mm to 11.9mm)
Modified trapezoidal cross section of
rectangular wire springs changes to
a D cross section during coiling to
achieve a low stress level that means
longer spring life.
