Double ear Wire Spring Clips Wire Forms
Double ear steel wire spring, also known as “ear shaped spring”, is a common mechanical elastic component made of metal materials such as steel wire or stainless steel wire that are curled and processed. This type of spring has the characteristic of having a semi-circular or ear shaped structure at both ends, and is mainly used to fix and support the position of components.
Double ear steel wire springs have a wide range of applications and can be applied to various mechanical equipment, such as transformers, switches, electronic components, etc., to achieve functions such as fixation, support, and conductivity. Its unique structure enables it to play an important role in fixing and supporting many mechanical structures.
In addition, steel wire springs can be divided into two types based on their operating status: static and dynamic. The application areas of static springs include safety valve springs, spring pads, mechanical springs, and balance plate springs, while dynamic springs are more commonly used in engine valve springs, shock-absorbing springs, elevator buffer springs, and vehicle suspension springs.
For springs that need to withstand corrosive environments, special treatment will be carried out during the manufacturing process to improve their corrosion resistance. At the same time, various types of spring steel wires are applied in different fields and need to be selected according to specific needs.
The materials commonly used for Wire Forms include:
Stainless steel: With good corrosion resistance, strength and toughness, it is commonly used for wire forms required to be used in wet and corrosive environments, such as medical equipment, food processing industry, etc.
Wire Forms made of 304 or 316 stainless steel may be used for some delicate components in medical surgical devices.
Carbon steel: relatively low cost, high strength, and different hardness and toughness can be obtained through proper heat treatment.
Some structural members and connectors commonly used in mechanical manufacturing, such as some supporting parts of automobile chassis.
Alloy steel: by adding alloy elements such as chromium, molybdenum and nickel, it has higher strength, wear resistance and heat resistance.
In aerospace, wire forms made of alloy steel may be used for some key stressed parts.
Copper and copper alloy: with good conductivity and thermal conductivity, commonly used in electrical and electronic fields.
Copper wire forms may be used for conductor support structures such as wires and cables.
