Spring Cutting Length Versus Functional Travel
No. Attachments, retained material and operating geometry consume part of the strip length.
Spring Drawing Datums for Strip-Formed Parts
Choose datums that relate inspection to functional mounting and motion. Convenient free-state dimensions may not describe the installed part.
Spring Material Environmental Claims and Evidence
Use documentation for the actual supplied material and scope of the requirement, with a traceable revision and lot where relevant.
Spring Strip Oil Selection as an Assembly Requirement
Specify the approved lubricant, application condition and compatibility requirements with the complete assembly.
Spring Strip Incoming Inspection Sampling Locations
Use a sampling plan that addresses the material form, lot definition and characteristics important to the design.
Spring Strip Lot Segregation During Trial Builds
It allows performance differences to be attributed to material, process or geometry instead of mixing those causes.
