Misumi expands line of compression spring washers

Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team May 20, 2009

Misumi has announced the expansion of its line of washers for stainless- and carbon-steel compression springs.

Misumi's compression spring washers are available in two different types, with selection dependent on the application requirements.

The standard type is available in 1045 carbon steel with black oxide finish, 304 stainless steel, and four new resin types (polyacetal in white and black; and MC nylon in blue and ivory).

The lightweight yet rugged resin materials provide insulation and reduce the weight of the components.

The tapped type features a threaded ID, which facilitates adjustment to initial load.

Two new tapped types include two-flat and knurled styles in 1045 carbon steel with black oxide finish and 304 stainless steel.

Both the standard and tapped washers feature an extended collar design that adds strength and reduces warpage or distortion during expansion and contraction.

Misumi's range of round wire compression springs is manufactured to precise dimensional tolerances.

They are available in spring steel (ASTM A228) and 304 stainless steel-WPB.

Product specifications, load calculations and technical data for compression springs and washers are provided in the 2009 Misumi catalogue or online.

Misumi also offers a range of coil springs used in applications where a heavier load is required and are also common in a variety of press and die applications.
