Use

1.1200 Music Wire (Spring Steel) Type C 81500 210000  1200-3400 -40 until +80 Patented drawn music wire (spring steel) suitable for static or quasi-
static applications
Wire diameter maximum d=20mm
1.4310 X10CrNi18-8 (V2A) 73000 187500  1300-2600 -200 until +250 Stainless steel for the most
common applications suitable for seawater resistant slightly magnetic a humid environment, but not
due to work hardening

 

Other materials like Inconel, Incoloy HT800, copper beryllum and spring bronze are available on request.

 

Squared and Ground Ends

0C... are squared and ground from wire diameter d=0,50.
0X... are squared and ground from wire diameter d=0,50.
0D... are squared and ground from wire diameter d=1,00.


Surfaces

Compression springs made of the material 1.1200 spring steel are oiled.
Compression springs mades of the material 1.4310 are dry.


Winding Direction

The standard winding direction of compression springs is right hand winding. This means that if you look through the spring axis, the winding of a spring wound to the right moves away clockwise.

Service Life

The actual service life of a compression spring depends, among other things, on the spring deflection between the two compression points and their position relative to the spring length. Thus, the service life will differ for each spring.
