Down to earth service for spring design
Lee Spring has come up with a fresh approach to solving spring performance and design problems.
Britain's largest range of stock springs on CD-Rom
A CD cataloguing Britain's largest range of stock springs and featuring an interactive spring selector to simplify specifying and ordering on- line, has been launched by Lee Spring
Standard products such as compression, die, extension, torsion and disc springs plus spring selection kits, are included but in this edition there is an increased focus on custom spring options.
Custom designs are usually considered when either the performance characteristics required (eg environmental conditions, product life cycle, load capabilities) or physical sise and configuration requirements exceed the scope of what is available from the stock spring range.
Springs can be designed to an almost unlimited variety of configurations and over the years Lee Spring has manufactured literally tens of thousands of "tailored" springs.

A new and revolutionary spring with exceptional power and load characteristics offers a high-performance alternative to steel springs.
Hydraulic breaker assisted by novel springs
A revolutionary design of excavator-mounted hydraulic breaker incorporates equally ground-breaking PowerSpring technology.
The company also has the capability to produce many other types of springs, washers, wire forms and stampings as well as assemblies of these products.
PowerSpring, the high strength tension/extension spring that offers exceptional power and load characteristics, is listed under the custom spring options.
Manufactured from a natural rubber core enclosed in braided fibre inner and outer covers, this spring type offers a high performance alternative to steel springs.
To simplify the enquiry process for custom spring options new and restructured specification forms have been added to the catalogue.
For the first time a discussion of the technical and commercial merits of round or wire form spring is included in the introductory pages to the new catalogue.
Manufacturers have for years portrayed round wire as the poor cousin of rectangular wire for high performance die spring applications.
Now, independent tests, undertaken at the Institute of Spring Technology (IST), have proven that Lee Spring's round wire springs have a life expectancy equal to that of rectangular wire die springs and, moreover, they generally cost less.
This is because it is more efficient to produce springs from round wire rather than the rectangular wire form traditionally used.
Lee Spring's stock spring range is manufactured from materials to military, aerospace and/or equivalent British or DIN standards and its quality system is assessed by and registered with Bureau Veritas Quality International to the requirements of BS EN ISO9001:2000.
Orders for stock springs and details of all the services in the new catalogue can be accessed on the Lee Spring website.
Completing the catalogue is a compendium of engineering data relative to springs.
It comprises a glossary of terms, specifications and tolerances, operating temperatures and finishes, conversion data, mathematical symbols, SWG listings, micro and geometric solutions. Request a free brochure from Lee Spring ...
