Square, flat and profile wire improves load, contact area or energy storage in limited space. Section orientation, corner radius and twist are critical.
Square, flat and profile wire improves load, contact area or energy storage in limited space. Section orientation, corner radius and twist are critical.
Use these values for early selection. Final dimensions, tolerances and loads are confirmed by engineering review and approved samples.
Square or flat wire springs designed for higher load and contact area in compact spaces
High load or broad contact in compact mechanisms.
Switch, battery, clamp and conductive assemblies.
Power springs, clips and precision mechanisms.
Rectangular-section orientation strongly changes bending stiffness. Show width and thickness relative to bend plane or spring axis.
Profile materials can carry minimum purchase quantities and longer lead times. Early review prevents an uneconomic sample design.
Procurement GuideDefine free length, wire diameter, load points, tolerance, winding direction and finish to reduce clarification cycles.
Materials & FinishesA battery contact is both a spring and an electrical interface, so material, contact force, surface film and galvanic compatibility must work together.
Materials & FinishesA finish should address corrosion, conductivity, appearance, friction or joining while accounting for dimensions and embrittlement risk.
No. Section inertia, stress, springback and material condition differ and require recalculation and sampling.
It affects stress concentration, fit, contact area and coating coverage and is a functional section parameter.
