Spring catalogue released

"We have added some exciting new products to our range of stock springs, offering customers an even greater choice to meet their specific needs” says Chris Petts, Managing Director of Lee Spring UK.

The new High Pressure Compression Springs offer very high spring rates in a slender spring design. The Lee Spring engineering team has designed an offering of 144 slender parts packed with high load capacities, rated to pressures of 300, 400, and 500 psi.  High Pressure Series Compression Springs in 17-7PH Stainless Steel are passivated, shotpeened, and preset, to provide a balance of corrosion resistance, high strength, and toughness. 

This new line of High Pressure Compression Springs is suitable for applications with small spaces requiring firm, but not rigid, slender springs.  They are used in a variety of applications including switches, ball plungers, safety relief valves, quick change tools and vice clamps.

The latest Heavy Duty Die Springs also feature in the new Lee Spring catalogue.  A die spring is a type of heavy duty compression spring manufactured using round wire specifically designed to be used in ‘Dies’ or as heavy duty coil springs in any heavy stress, heavy load application such as clutches, brakes, farm machinery and aircraft mechanisms.

Lee Spring offers five different Heavy Duty Die Spring configurations, ranging from Medium, Medium Plus, Medium Heavy, Heavy to Extra Heavy load. 

The company's new Metric Bantam Mini Compression Springs are designed to operate in small spaces and are used in various applications, including in medical instruments and surgical tools, firearms, communication devices and hardware, as well as in the aerospace, automotive and marine sectors.

"Manufacturing springs using metric-wire helps us to offer more accurate spring measurement to customers working in metric units” explains Chris Petts. "It helps our customers to achieve precision and accuracy as well as speed up the specification process.”

The new metric range starts at .010mm, which is just a little thicker than a human hair, with outside diameters from .81 to 1.65 mm and free lengths from 1 to 14 mm.  The existing imperial (inches) range of Bantam springs ranges from a .004 to .0055in wire diameter, with outside diameters of.025 to .057in. 

Made using Elgiloy, a high temperature resistant, non-magnetic nickel alloy that is said to be 10% stronger than Type 316 Stainless Steel, these miniature stock springs offer a combination of strength and corrosion resistance.
