Meriv Çawa Biharek Berfirehkirinê Ji bo Fitek Bêkêmasî Pîv Dikî?
Pêdivî ye ku hûn biharek dirêjkirina şikestî biguhezînin, but you're not sure how to measure it. Sparkirina mezinahiya xelet tê wateya derengbûnên bêtir, pere xerc kirin, and a product that still doesn't work.
Ji bo fermankirina bihara dirêjkirina rast, divê hûn sê pîvanên krîtîk rast bipîvin: Diametera Derveyî (JI) of the coils, The Wire Diameter (d), û Length Inside the Hooks (LIH). Van her sê pîvanan zimanê gerdûnî ne ji bo diyarkirina mezinahiya her bihara dirêjkirinê.
Li ser min 14 salan di vê pîşesaziyê de, sedema herî gelemperî ya fermanek vegerî pîvanek xelet e. Xerîdar dê pir caran dirêjahiya tevahî ji tîpê heya tîpê bipîve, but that's not the industry standard and can lead to errors. Rastgirtina van her sê mezinahiyên bingehîn ji destpêkê ve gava herî girîng e ji bo bidestxistina biharek veguheztinê ku di ceribandina yekem de bi rengek bêkêmasî bi cih dibe û tevdigere.. Let's walk through exactly how to take these measurements like a pro.
Çima Du Pîvandinên Diameterê yên Cûda hene?
Te firehiya bihara xwe pîva, lê forma fermanê ji bo du diameters cuda dipirse. Ev tevlihev e, and you're worried about choosing the wrong one and getting a part that fails.
Du pîvanên krîtîk Diametera Derve û Diameter Wire ne. Ew Diameter derve (JI)[^1] is the total width of the spring's body, ku ji we re vedibêje ka ew ê biqewime. The Wire Diameter stûrbûna têl bi xwe ye, which determines the spring's strength.
Ez gelek caran vê yekê ji xerîdaran re rave dikim ku biharek bi donê re berhev dikim. Pîvana Derveyî pîvana li seranserê donutê ye, ku ji we re vedibêje ka ew ê li ser plakê bicîh bibe. Diametreya Têlê mîna pîvandina beşa hevîr çiqas stûr e. Ew qalindahî ew e ku maddeya xwe dide donê, just like the wire's thickness gives the spring its strength. Guherînek piçûk di pîvana têlê de dikare di hêza kişandinê de cûdahiyek mezin çêbike. That's why we always ask for both measurements; one is for fit, û ya din ji bo fonksiyonê ye.
Du Diameterên Herî Girîng
Yek pîvan ji bo mezinbûnê ye, ya din ji bo hêzê ye.
- Diameter derve (JI): This is the measurement across the outside edges of the spring's coils. Ew awayê herî gelemperî ye ku meriv mezinahiya kulikê diyar bike ji ber ku ew rasterast bi cîhê ku dê biharê di civîna we de dagir bike ve girêdayî ye..
- Wire Diameter (d): This is the thickness of the actual wire used to make the spring. It is the single most important factor in determining the spring's force and stiffness. For accurate measurements, you should always use a tool like digital calipers.
| Pîvanî | What It Controls | Çima Krîtîk e |
|---|---|---|
| Diameter derve (JI) | Bihorîn. Does the spring fit inside a hole or around a post? | If the OD is too large, the spring will not fit in your product. If it's too small, it may be unstable. |
| Wire Diameter (d)[^2] | Cebir. How strong is the spring? | A small increase in wire diameter dramatically increases the spring's stiffness and load capacity. It is the core of its strength. |
What's the Right Way to Measure an Extension Spring's Length?
You carefully measured your spring from one end to the other. But the replacement you ordered was too short, and now your machine is still down, waiting for the right part.
The correct way to measure the length is "Length Inside Hooks" (LIH). This is the distance from the inner surface of one hook to the inner surface of the other. This measurement defines the spring's length when it is installed and relaxed.
This is probably the biggest source of confusion when ordering springs by size. Many people naturally measure the "Overall Length," from the very tip of one hook to the tip of the other. The problem is that the thickness of the hook wire is included in that measurement, and it can vary. A manufacturer will almost always assume you mean Length Inside Hooks, as this is the standard that dictates function. I had a client in the agricultural industry who kept ordering springs that were too short. It turned out his team was measuring the overall length. Once we corrected that one measurement, the parts fit perfectly.
Measuring Length for Function, Not Form
The functional length is what truly matters for performance.
- Length Hundir Hooks (LIH)[^3]: This is the industry standard. It measures the functional length of the spring between the points where it connects to your product.
- Body Length: This is the length of only the coiled portion of the spring. While useful for design calculations, it is not the primary measurement needed for ordering.
- Dirêjahiya giştî (OAL): This is the total length from the absolute ends of the hooks. It should generally be avoided as it can be an inconsistent and misleading measurement.
| Length Measurement | Terîf | Is It a Standard for Ordering? |
|---|---|---|
| Length Hundir Hooks (LIH) | Measured from the inside of one hook to the inside of the other. | Erê. This is the most critical and universally accepted length measurement. |
| Body Length | The length of the coiled section only. | Na. It is a secondary dimension used for manufacturing calculations. |
| Dirêjahiya giştî (OAL)[^4] | The maximum length from the absolute tip of each hook. | Na. Avoid using this measurement as it can lead to incorrect part sizing. |
How Do These Sizes Affect the Spring's Performance?
You have the correct dimensions for your spring. But the original part failed, so how do you know that a replacement of the same size won't just break again?
The size dimensions directly control the spring's force and stress. A thicker wire or a smaller coil diameter will create a stronger, bihara hişktir. If a spring is failing, you may need to increase the wire diameter to make it more durable.
When a customer comes to us to replace a failed spring, I always ask them çawa it failed. Did a hook break? Did the coil stretch out and not return to its original length? Knowing this helps us recommend a better design. Simply ordering an identical replacement might not solve the underlying problem. Bo nimûne, if the spring is being over-stretched, a longer spring with the same force might be needed. Or if it's breaking from fatigue, a spring made from a slightly thicker wire will have lower internal stress and last much longer. The size isn't just about fit; it's the blueprint for the spring's performance and lifespan.
From Size to Strength
The dimensions are a recipe for the spring's behavior.
- Stiffness (Rêjeya Biharê): Ev di serî de ji hêla pîvana têl û pîvana derveyî ve tê kontrol kirin. Têlek stûrtir biharê hişktir dike, di heman demê de ku pîvanek kulîlkek mezintir wê kêmtir hişk dike.
- Stress û Durability: Zexta li ser têlê jî ji hêla van pîvanan ve tê destnîşankirin. Biharek bi kulmek pir piçûk a ku ji têlek pir stûr hatî çêkirin di bin stresek pir zêde de ye û dibe ku zû têk bibe. Sêwiranek baş van faktoran ji bo jiyanek dirêj hevseng dike.
| Ger Hûn Vê Mezinahiyê Biguherînin... | Ew ê bi vî rengî bandorê li performansê bike... | Mînak |
|---|---|---|
| Zêdekirina Diameter Wire (d) | Hêz û hişkiyê zêde dike. Ji bo barek diyar stresê kêm dike. | Bihar pir xurttir û domdartir dibe. |
| Diametera Derveyî Zêde bikin (JI) | Hêz û hişkbûnê kêm dike. Stresê kêm dike. | Bihar dibe "nermtir" û nermtir. |
| Zêdekirina Length Inside Hooks (LIH) | Destûr dide ku bêtir dirêjkirina tevahî (gerrîn). | A longer spring can be pulled further before it is damaged. |
