German vanel springs vanel models vanel prices

vanel spring is a new type of elastic component that uses high-pressure nitrogen as the working medium. It features compact size, high spring force, long stroke, smooth operation, precision manufacturing, long service life (one million cycles), flat force curve, and no need for pre-loading. It performs tasks that are difficult for conventional elastic components such as metal springs, rubber, and air cushions. It simplifies mold design and manufacturing, facilitates mold installation and adjustment, extends mold service life, ensures stable product quality, and can be designed as a nitrogen spring system to operate as part of the mold. It can easily achieve constant pressure and delayed action within the system, making it an ideal new-generation elastic component with flexible performance.

vanel spring applications

Extension springs, also known as helical extension springs, generally have equal pitch and mostly circular cross-sections. They can be used in many occasions, such as production assembly, testing, R&D, and maintenance. Extension springs hold an important position in the global market and are widely applied in fields such as national defense, marine, computer, electronics, automotive, molds, medicine, biochemistry, aerospace, railway, nuclear power, wind power, thermal power, engineering machinery, mining machinery, construction machinery, and elevators.

vanel spring measures to control springback

1) Select materials with good bending performance: Using materials with a low yield limit and high elastic modulus as bending parts can achieve higher bending quality. In addition, the magnitude of thickness tolerance of the blank, the quality of the surface finish, and the flatness all have a significant impact on bending springback. For workpieces with high bending accuracy requirements, the quality of the blank in these aspects should also be screened. 2) Select a smaller relative bending radius: A small r/t value indicates a large degree of deformation. Generally, when r/t ≤ 3-5, it is considered that the bending zone of the sheet metal has fully entered the plastic state. A smaller bending radius is beneficial for reducing springback, but an excessively small bending radius may cause cracking in the bending zone. The minimum bending radius for materials provided in references is mainly empirical data, which can serve as a reference for sheet metal designers when designing the bending radius of workpieces. 3) Select the required die clearance: For V type bending, the clearance value is achieved by high-speed machine tools and is independent of the die itself. For U type bending, springback decreases as the depth of the die opening increases, and springback decreases as the die clearance decreases. For workpieces with high bending accuracy, the single-side bending clearance can be taken as Z = t; if higher bending accuracy is required, adopting bending with slight thinning is more effective in reducing springback. Because zero-clearance or negative-clearance bending can change the stress state of the sheet metal, transforming it from ordinary bending to bending with tensile-bending characteristics, creating a compressive stress state on the inner side of the neutral layer of the blank, so that the entire cross-section of the blank is in a tensile stress state in the tangential direction. After unloading, the springback of the inner and outer fibers cancels each other out, thereby reducing springback (Figure 4). Therefore, adopting tensile bending processes and dies with adjustable clearance is very beneficial for controlling springback. 4) Design reasonable workpiece shapes: U type bent parts have less springback than V type parts. Complex workpiece shapes involve more mutual constraints between parts, making springback difficult to control. Therefore, ? type has less springback than U type. If suitable stiffening ribs are pressed at the bending area, the springback will be even smaller. Therefore, flanging or hemming treatment of bent parts can not only improve stiffness but also reduce springback. 5) Adopt appropriate microstructural states: Materials after cold working hardening have large bending springback. For bent parts with high accuracy requirements where the blank has cold working hardening, annealing treatment should be performed before bending. Where necessary and permissible, heating bending should be adopted for workpieces with thicker blanks to eliminate springback. The springback angle of calibration bending is significantly smaller than that of free bending, and the greater the calibration force, the smaller the springback. 6) Calibrate the punch shape for bending: This is because the calibration bending force concentrates the punching force in the bending deformation zone, forcing the inner metal layer to be compressed. After the sheet metal is calibrated, both the inner and outer fibers are elongated and will shorten after unloading. Since the springback trends of the inner and outer layers are opposite, the springback amount will be reduced, thereby achieving the goal of overcoming or reducing springback. Therefore, calibration bending is a bending method similar in nature to tensile bending, and its application range is somewhat wider. Generally, the punch for calibration bending mostly adopts the shape shown in Figure 5.

vanel spring uses

1) For blacksmiths: Because leaf springs are made of higher quality steel, they are the favorite material for blacksmiths. In countries such as Nepal, Bangladesh, the Philippines, and Pakistan, where traditional blacksmiths still produce a large number of tools, leaf springs from scrapped cars are often used to make tools such as knives. 2) Used in trampolines: Leaf springs have replaced traditional coil springs in some trampolines (called soft-edge trampolines), which improves user safety and reduces the risk of concussion. Leaf springs are spaced around the frame 'legs', branching from the base frame to suspend the jumping mat, thereby providing elasticity. 3) Used in clutches: The 'diaphragm' commonly found in automotive clutches is a type of leaf spring.
