Steel Compression Spring [click to enlarge]

A client from the lawn and garden industry came to us for a spring that would be used on a commercial grade lawn mower. They needed a standard design compression spring with ground ends and a zinc plated yellow dichromate finish. We fabricated this compression spring on our CNC spring former and our CNC spring grinder from 0.112″ diameter spring steel music wire. The springs were de-burred, plated with yellow zinc, and heat treated to 500°F.

The final dimensions of the springs measured 0.720″ outer diameter, 0.496″ inner diameter, and 3.000″ of free length with coil specifications of 87.4 lb/in. spring rate, 13.5 total coils, and 11.5 active coils. All compression springs passed dimensional and visual inspections and tension/load testing. We produced 500 units in 3 weeks while upholding tightest tolerances of ±0.008″.

Working closely with each client to design and produce springs that meet their specifications, Kehr-Buffalo Wire Frame’s knowledge and experience sets us above the competition.
