Die Springs
Because of their high durability to stress and force, die springs are often ideal for many different industry applications. Mid-West Spring and Stamping specializes in creating custom die springs for customers to meet their specific project and industry requirements. We have the capability to work with you to design and manufacture custom die springs that meet your timeline and budget restrictions.
What Are Die Springs?
Die springs are part of the compression spring family, meaning they are specially designed to resist compression and give resistance against the load placed against them. Die springs are designed to be strong and have an even higher durability to stress when compared to other types of compression springs, making them ideal for a diverse range of industry applications.
How Are Die Springs Designed?
Die springs are a type of high force compression spring made from rectangular wire, allowing the spring to store higher amounts of energy in a more confined space while also making them resistant to increasingly high temperatures.
Die springs can be designed with both open and closed ends and come in a variety of colors to designate that specific spring’s strength to make it easier to select the correct one for your application.
Because of the use of rectangular wire and the way the wire is wound, die springs provide the following benefits:
- High durability to stress
- High resistance to temperatures
- Increased lifespan
- Flexibility for use in applications
- Ideal for extreme environments
- Cost-effective
Common Applications for Die Springs
Wherever a spring is needed for high pressure and temperature resistance, you can most likely find a die spring. Die springs are common in farm machinery, aircraft mechanisms, automotive parts, and manufacturing equipment like die sets.
For example, die sets in press machines provide pressure to hold the target material in place while the press perforates the substrate. If the die set were to provide no yield to the punch, the punch could be damaged; if it were to provide too much yield, the material would not be perforated.
