Closed Ground End Compression Spring Flatness 0.1mm for Precision Assembly
Closed ground end compression springs with flatness ≤0.1mm and perpendicularity ≤0.5° ensure stable, side-load-free force output for precision assembly applications.
Compression Spring Quick Detail
Essential for valve spools, plungers, and applications requiring vertical spring seating. Our compression springs feature ground flat ends with flatness ≤0.1mm and perpendicularity ≤0.5° to prevent tilting and mating surface wear during compression. Custom wire diameter, OD, and spring rate available with 48-hour sampling and small batch orders welcome.
Compression Spring Product Description
Many mechanical failures originate from spring end misalignment. When spring ends are not parallel, compression generates lateral forces that cause guide wear, seal eccentric wear, or spring buckling. The closed & ground process—closing the last two coils tightly and grinding them perpendicular to the axis—fundamentally solves this issue.
Tingfeng Hardware uses double-face simultaneous grinding to process both ends at once, ensuring parallelism and perpendicularity. We utilize optical flatness gauges to achieve flatness within 0.05mm. For special requirements requiring extremely high flatness for minimal clearances, we offer precision grinding services. Whether for solenoid valve armature springs or force-transmission springs in precision regulators, our ground-end springs provide stable, side-load-free force output. With 15 years of experience and IATF16949 certification, quality is assured.
