Wholesale Snap Springs

What are the characteristics of a circlip spring.

Snap springs are a common mechanical component with the following main characteristics:

1. Simple structure: The clip spring is mainly made of elastic material and has the characteristic of elastic deformation. Its relatively simple structure and small shape allow for compact and effective connections in a wide range of equipment and a wide range of applications.

2. High load-bearing capacity capability: the elastic structure of the clip spring can carry high static and dynamic loads and can effectively maintain its elasticity under shear, compression and tension, which allows it to be used in a wide range of precision machinery and industrial equipment.

3. High reliability and durability: The material used to make the springs is generally high quality alloy steel, which has high strength and hardness, and is not easily deformed and does not easily age or fatigue during long periods of use, thus maintaining high reliability and durability over a long period of time.

4. Easy to install: the application of the clip spring does not require any fixing bolts or nuts, etc., it simply needs to be inserted into the prefabricated holes to achieve a compact connection. As a result, it is a very convenient way of joining and can greatly increase the efficiency and speed of assembly.

In general, the simple structure, high load-bearing capacity, high reliability and durability, and ease of installation make snap springs widely used in industry.

What are the raw materials used to make a snap spring:

There are two main types of raw materials used to make card springs:

1.Card springs are generally made from spring steel, which has excellent elasticity and toughness and is able to maintain a better form when loaded, as well as having a relatively high strength and hardness, which allows them to withstand larger loads and meet a variety of people's needs. Common spring steels are 65Mn, 60Si2Mn, 50CrVA, etc.

2. Stainless steel: Some special occasions require a higher level of corrosion resistance in the spring. This can be made of stainless steel, such as 304 stainless steel, 316 stainless steel, etc., which has good corrosion resistance, strength and fatigue resistance and can meet the needs of all types of card springs.

It should be noted that the steel is relatively inexpensive and strong, and for some general card springs, the application of this material is sufficient. However, if the equipment is working in a particular environment and the metal properties, corrosion resistance and environmental requirements of the spring are high, other materials will need to be used.

In summary, conventional spring steel and stainless steel are currently the main materials used to make snap springs. The decision as to which material to use will depend on the specific requirements of the application and the environment.

What are the advantages of spring steel.

Spring steel is the steel used to make springs or similar devices and it has the following advantages over other steels:

1. high elastic limit: spring steel has a high elastic limit, which greatly increases the elasticity and load-bearing capacity of the spring. It is able to withstand a variety of loads over long periods of work and is not easily deformed or broken.

2. High toughness: Due to the chemical composition and processing of spring steel, it has a high toughness. This, combined with its good elastic limit, makes it suitable for working in fatigue cyclic stress environments.

3. Good machinability: Spring steel achieves a good balance between combined strength and strain capacity, making it less difficult to machine when manufacturing springs.

4. High fatigue resistance: Spring steels also have excellent fatigue and corrosion resistance, and are able to maintain a stable elasticity and load carrying capacity under prolonged high intensity loading.

In general, spring steel has high elasticity, high toughness, good machinability and stable fatigue resistance, etc., to meet the spring and other similar devices on the elasticity, load bearing capacity and durability requirements.
