ISO 10243 standard states the following parameters for rectagular wire compression springs:

D: housing diameter (or external diameter)
d: spring-guide pin diameter (or internal diameter)
Lo: length of the spring at rest (or free length)
R: load, in Newton, necessary to deflect the spring by 1 mm (1 Newton = 0.102 Kg)

The standard also gives the maximum total working stroke permissible for each spring, the tolerances for the free length and the identifying color for each rate.

Spring selection

Selection of springs is facilitated by te following tables in our catalogue, in which two different working deflection hypotesis are shown, plus the deflection to solid. The following table summarizes the percentage of deflection calculated for each series

When selecting and using the springs we recommend:

  • Select the lightest and longest springs working requirements allow
  • Operating travel must never exceed the max deflection indicated in the catalogue. Check ths too when the die is sharpened.
  • Preload each spring in the assembled tool at least by 5% of the free length, with a minimum of 2 mm.
  • Provide an even base for each spring.
  • Provide proper guidance to avoid buckling.

Tolerances
Spring rate: +/- 10%
Free length: +/- 1%, with a minimum of +/- 0.75mm
External diameter: the external diameter of the spring is always smaller than the housing diameter indicated in the catalogue
Internal diameter: the internal diameter of the spring is always greater than the diameter of the guiding pin indicated in the catalogue.
