What tolerances does an extension spring have?
The different series follow different standards.
The properties of the wire material and production methods mean that dimensions and the physical constants can vary from production to production, which are all parameters that have an impact on the function of the extension spring.
A range:
The A Range consists of springs with 5 digits, ie: "31200"
All dimensions and forces in accordance with DIN 2097 (Grade 2). DIN 2097 defines the force as the determining parameter. The number of coils may therefore vary and is consequently not stated for these ranges.
