FATIGUE

NOTE:

Spring failure under cyclic operation is best determined by actual testing.
Theoretical calculations for fatigue are based on operating stress and only approximate the cycle life.
Cycle testers at Smalley can be utilised to assist in determining anticipated cycle life. / Static Application
Under 30,000 cycles
30,000 – 50,000 cycles
50,000 – 75,000 cycles
75,000 – 100,000 cycles
100,000 – 200,000 cycles
200,000 – 1,000,000 cycles
1,000,000 + cycles

General Information

SIZE RANGE: / STRESS RELIEF/ PRECIPITATION HARDENING
Diameters: ⅜ to 84 inches (9.5 to 2130mm) / All springs are heat treated prior to shipment
Non-precipitation hardenable materials (i.e. 302 & 316 St/St, Carbon Steel) are stress relieved to remove coiling strains.
Precipitation hardenable materials are hardened to specification, in an open atmosphere furnace.
Optional atmosphere controlled heat treatments are available on request.
Material thickness: .008 - .125” (0.2 – 3.2mm)
Radial width: .030 - .750” (0.7 – 19.0mm)
PACKAGING
Springs 1⅜ (34.9mm) OD and over tube (coin)
packed in lengths 10 to 18 inches.
Springs under 1⅜ (34.9mm) are bulk packed.
Other arrangements made on request.
