Spring plate is a common mechanical component, which is widely used in various mechanical equipment. In order to meet the needs of different application scenarios, the processing technology of the spring sheet is also different. This article will introduce some common spring plate processing technology.

Plate shearing

Sheet cutting is one of the most basic methods to produce spring sheets. In this process, sheet metal is cut from larger sheets to form the initial spring sheet size. Sheet cutting can be done using manual or automatic shears.

Manual shears can be used for small-scale production or personal DIY projects. Automatic shears can be used for mass production, they can cut thicker sheets and are able to handle high-strength materials such as steel, iron, copper, etc.

Stamping and cutting

Stamping and cutting is a machining method often used in mass production. In this process, the shape and size of the spring is punched out of the sheet by a steel die.

Stamping and cutting can achieve greater accuracy and consistency, while improving material utilization and reducing the risk of wasting material. The disadvantage of this machining method is that it requires a lot of energy to carry out stamping and cutting operations.

curl

Coil bending is a common spring plate processing method, which is usually used to transform the flat spring plate into a coiled, cylindrical spring plate. In this process, the spring plate is crimped or bent by rollers and pressure.

The orientation of the material must be maintained during the rolling process, and the form and position deviation of the material must be controlled. Bending also needs to consider the strength and toughness of the material to ensure the service life of the spring sheet.
