Drawing attention to the when and why of plastic springs

Drawing attention to the when and why of plastic springs
The when and why of Plastic springs is rarely a simple matter, made as they are from highly engineered composites and technically advanced new generation materials they are produced with lightweight and high-performance in mind for application in especially demanding industries such as medical, pharmaceutical, electronics, aerospace and similar. Typical properties include operation at elevated temperatures, neutral magnetic characteristics, light weight, low thermal conductivity, electrically insulating and ability to recycle at end of life.

Exotic alloys: what are they and when do you use them?

Exotic alloys: what are they and when do you use them?
Materials with high alloy content, known as super alloys or exotic alloys, offer enhance performance properties including excellent strength and durability, and resistance to oxidation, corrosion and deforming at high temperatures or under extreme pressure. Because of these properties, super alloys make the best spring materials for demanding working conditions, which can be encountered across various industry sectors.

REDUX Wave Springs perform spring function in minimal spaces

REDUX Wave Springs perform spring function in minimal spaces
Lee Spring REDUX wave springs offer a way of performing a spring function in minimal spaces – even perhaps where no other spring could work effectively. Typically, REDUX wave springs occupy just 30-50% of the compressed height space of the conventional round wire springs, yet they offer more deflection with the same load specifications. This not only helps to save space in the applications but also reduces the production costs, as fewer materials are required and often enable devices that would not otherwise be feasible.

Worldwide supply chain in metric and imperial

Worldwide supply chain in metric and imperial
According to spring specialist Lee Spring, for ease of specification and sourcing, design engineers often select their measurement units to match local standards, or otherwise those used by the design department or the manufacturing facility. This simple choice at an early stage can make life a lot easier for all concerned and reduce unforced errors of transcription, saving time, saving costs.

Why spring is right for my application?

Why spring is right for my application?
Lee Spring is not just a company that produces springs, but can also offer some guidance to engineers who are either designing assemblies, developing for production or concerned with installation/maintenance and find that the choice predominantly covers what they need.

DIN-Plus springs standard to DIN 2098 parts two and one

DIN-Plus springs standard to DIN 2098 parts two and one
Lee Spring’s new Centenary Catalogue issue 25 includes a full new section of DIN-Plus parts 2 and 1 compression springs. This extensive 525 series of new parts in end-closed passivated stainless steel wire, or end-squared and ground plated spring steel, provides manufacturers with a welcome resource for rapid delivery of standard parts, as well as a springboard for specification of custom units to suit those slightly different installations.

Wire forms come as a standard offer

Wire forms come as a standard offer
Wire forms typically are parts made from wire that is bent to have specific angles and lengths. They are well known as simple, quick to install and low cost as permanent but easily removable devices. These simple devices are found in electrical equipment, vehicles of all types, machines such as for production, unit transfer or mobile equipment or furniture.

Torsion springs and axial rotational energy systems

Torsion springs and axial rotational energy systems
Where it is necessary to apply a torque or to store rotational energy then Lee Spring torsion springs are frequently the most efficient solution. This is because of the action around a core with ends which can be formed into a wide range of leg shapes twisted and formed to suit the project needs.

Constant force, constant torque and constant load springs

Constant force, constant torque and constant load springs
The Lee Spring extension type of constant force spring represents the most basic, yet most versatile, type of constant force spring. It is a pre-stressed flat strip of spring material which is formed into a virtually constant radius coils around itself or on a drum. When the strip is extended (deflected) the inherent stress resists the loading force, the same as a common extension spring, but at a nearly constant (zero) rate.

Plastic composite compression springs offer full package

Plastic composite compression springs offer full package
Increasingly, engineers are seeing the benefits of plastic spring technology as exemplified by Lee Spring in their LeeP range. By offering non-magnetic, non-corrosive and chemically inert properties in a lightweight package, LeeP springs are often a complete solution for applications in areas of medical device manufacturing, pharmaceutical equipment, aerospace and lightweight e.g. portable instrumentation.

Washers with conical configuration to support high loads

Washers with conical configuration to support high loads
Ex-stock or custom Belleville washers in a complete package from Lee Spring are often used to solve vibration, thermal expansion, relaxation and bolt creep problems. Their conical configuration enables them to support high loads with relatively small deflections and solid heights compared to helical springs. Belleville washers may also be used as locking devices in applications with low dynamic loads.
