Wire, Steel, Corrosion Resisting in accordance with ASTM A580 and ASTM A313. [Learn more...]

Protective coating:

Cadmium plating in accordance with QQ-P-416, Type II, Class 2.
Zinc coating in accordance with ASTM B633, Type II, Fe/Zn5.
Passivation treatment in accordance with QQ-P-35.

Ends:

Squared and ground.

Tolerances:

Outside diameter “OD”:
From To +/-
.120" .240" .005"
.300" .500" .008"
.550" .850" .015"
Ends to be square within 3 degrees with axis. (Grade B of procurement specification)
Spring rate “R” +/- 10%.
Wire diameter “d” in accordance with material specifications.
Deflection “F” +/- 10%.

Dimensions:

All dimensions are in inches.

Part Number:

The MS part number consists of the MS number, plus the dash number. Example: MS24585-1. .

Notes:

  1. The Part Identification Number (PIN) for MS24585D and the part number for SAE-AS24585 are identical.
  2. Free length “L”, active coils “N”, and deflection per coil “F” are for reference use only.
  3. Load “P” must be attained at a compressed length determined by subtracting deflection “F” (with tolerance) from the free length “L”. For corrosion-resisting steel multiply “P” by .833.
  4. Spring values shown are for music wire and are based on a service life of 50,000 cycles at .50 stress range.
  5. To determine safe working deflection under other operating conditions, or when corrosion-resisting steel is used, multiply “F” by the appropriate factor shown in the table below. P1 = load at assembled length and P2 = final load.
  6. To determine load “P” at any deflection other than “F” multiply the proposed deflection by the rate “R”.
  7. When steel, corrosion-resisting is used the value for rate “R” must be corrected by multiplying “R” by .833.
  8. Music wire springs are not recommended for applications where temperature exceeds 250F. Corrosion-resisting steel springs are not recommended foe applications where temperature exceeds 500F.
