The saving is claimed to be somewhere in the order of 1/3rd to 1/2, while offering extended life and minimised in-service length loss by virtue of their shot peened finish and preset process in production. They fit the Lee Spring ‘complete spring’ concept with closed and ground ends, plus easy identification by colour coding, so they are ready for installation without additional specification.
Die springs are not solely used in dies, but find application in clutches, brakes, farm machinery and aircraft mechanisms. They are described as ideal for use as die springs or as heavy-duty compression springs for any high stress, heavy-load application.
The standard catalogue range is available in five load ratings – from medium (grey) through to extra heavy (orange).
