Polyacetal (POM) Compression Springs conform to the following Standards/Norms:
POM Compression Springs, available in sizes ranging from Inner Diameter (ID) of 1mm to 20.5mm, Outer Diameter (OD) of 2mm to 25mm, and Free Lengths of 8mm to 50mm, are crafted from Polyoxymethylene (POM), a highly crystalline engineering thermoplastic known for its high stiffness, low friction, and excellent dimensional stability. POM is also known for its good fatigue resistance, low moisture absorption, and high mechanical strength, making these compression springs ideal for precision applications requiring consistent performance and durability.
Sizes (see full table below) :
Inner Diameter (mm) - 1 to 20.5mm
Outer Diameter (mm) - 2 to 25mm
Free Length (mm) - 8 to 50mm
Advantages of Using POM Compression Springs:
High Mechanical Strength: POM provides excellent tensile and compressive strength, ensuring robust performance under various loads.
Low Friction: The material’s low friction coefficient reduces wear, leading to smoother operation and longer lifespan.
Dimensional Stability: POM’s high dimensional stability ensures that the springs maintain their shape and performance over time, even in precise applications.
Good Fatigue Resistance: POM’s resistance to repeated stress makes these springs suitable for cyclic loading applications.
Low Moisture Absorption: The material absorbs minimal moisture, ensuring consistent performance in humid or wet environments.
Chemical Resistance: POM is resistant to a variety of chemicals, including many solvents and fuels, ensuring durability in different environments.
Ease of Manufacturing: POM can be easily molded into complex shapes, allowing for precise and cost-effective production of springs.
