How to Search with Spring Finder 5.0

Acxess Spring's Spring Finder 5.0 is an innovative web-based tool designed to simplify the process of locating and purchasing the perfect spring for your needs. The following guide outlines each step of the process along with practical advice to help you make the most of this powerful resource.

Step 1: Select Your Spring Type

Begin by choosing the spring type that best aligns with your project's requirements.

Spring Finder step one - select your springSpring Finder step one - select your spring

Practical Advice:

  • Understand Your Needs: Clearly define what your application demands. Whether you need a compression spring with standard dimensions or a torsion spring made with custom length, identifying your needs early on will streamline your selection process.

Step 2: Enter Your Dimensions

Input the key measurements for your spring. For a extension spring, in this example, this typically includes the outer diameter and length inside hook. Providing more detailed dimensions will yield more precise search results, and you can always adjust the minimum and maximum input values to widen your search if necessary.

Practical Advice:

  • Accurate Measurements: Make sure to obtain precise measurements for both the outer diameter and the length inside hooks. When inputting these dimensions, take into account any spatial or design restrictions of your project. If you are replacing a spring, use accurate instruments like digital calipers for measurement.
  • Flexible Input: If your design allows for some variability, enter a broader range of values. This can help uncover additional options that might offer better pricing or performance.

Step 3: Click on Search

Click the Search button once your dimensions and specifications have been entered. This will generate a list of springs that meet your criteria.

Practical Advice:

  • Double-Check Your Data: Quickly review your entries to ensure they accurately represent your requirements.
  • Be Patient: Depending on the specificity and range of your inputs, it may take a moment for the system to process your request.
  • Adjust if Necessary: If the results are too limited, consider widening your range and running the search again.

Step 4: Review and Choose Your Spring

Analyze the search results, which are divided into two tables:

  • Red Table: Contains standard or stock springs that are ready to ship.
  • Blue Table: Displays a variety of custom-designed springs tailored to the dimensions you entered.

Practical Advice:

  • Utilize Filtering Tools: Use the filters provided (e.g., maximum load, material type, spring rate) to further narrow your options and focus on the most suitable springs.
  • Explore Both Tables: Compare the offerings in both the Red and Blue tables to see a wide array of options, from readily available products to custom solutions.
  • Compare Springs: On the tables click on the “compare” box for promising part numbers or spring options. Once you check the compare boxes scroll up on the page and click the “compare option” to view all your choices.  This can be very useful for side-by-side comparisons or discussions with team members.

Once you have found a spring that appears to meet your needs, click on its icon or part number to view more detailed information.

  • Tab 2: Email yourself a quote and shipping estimation.
  • Tab 3: Read and download the blueprint/specsheet.
  • Tab 4: The Spring Force Tester will virtually test different loads and deflections to assess performance in real time.
