Spring
Tension spring
Load P [N] = initial tension Pi [N] + (spring constant k [N/mm] × deflection F [mm])
- MISUMI's tension springs (excluding configurable types) are standardized such that the
maximum load is constant for a given diameter. Since the maximum load value is used as the
standard for manufacturing, the initial tension and spring constant values are reference
values.
- Please use at allowable deflection F max. (mm) or less. Use in excess of the allowable
deflection may cause the spring to deform or break after a small number of uses. Be careful
not to stretch tension springs beyond the allowable deflection during installation as well.
- Tension springs (AW□, BW□, AWFM, WFSP, LWS, LWSH) are recommended to be used at room
temperature (40°C or lower). Use at above 40°C may cause load values to decay depending on
conditions.
Round wire compression springs and irregular cross section wire springs
Load P [N] = (spring constant k [N/mm] × deflection F [mm])
-
MISUMI's round wire compression springs are standardized such that the spring constant is
constant for a given diameter. Spring constant tolerance is ±10%.
Irregular cross section wire springs are standardized such that the maximum load is constant
for a given diameter. Tolerances for load values vary for each type, so please refer to the
page for each type.
-
Please use at allowable deflection F max. (mm) or less. If used in excess of the allowable
deflection, the spring may deform or break.
Solid lengths are reference value. Deflection to the solid length may cause deformation or
breakage of the spring after a small number of uses.
-
The coil diameter of round wire compression springs are manufactured with priority given to
outer diameter tolerances for the outer diameter standard type and inner diameter tolerances
for the inner diameter standard type, respectively.
For inner/outer diameter tolerances of irregular cross section wire springs, please refer to
the page for each type.
- Round wire compression springs (W□, NW□, FW□, U□, FU□) and irregular cross section wire
springs (SWF, SWL, SWM, SWH, SWB) are recommended to be used at room temperature (below
40°C). Use at above 40°C may cause load values to decay depending on conditions.
(Heat-resistant springs are listed in Standard Parts for Plastic Molds.)
- Irregular cross section wire springs are also listed in Standard Parts for Press Dies and
Standard Parts for Plastic Molds. (Large diameter sizes are also listed.)
