Stainless Steel 420 Springs

Stainless Steel 420 Springs are specialized elastic elements used to store mechanical energy and exert a force upon deflection. Unlike fasteners, which create a rigid joint, springs utilize elasticity to manage dynamic loads. They are manufactured from martensitic stainless steel grade 420, which is highly preferred for spring applications due to its high carbon content and subsequent ability to be heat-treated to achieve excellent tensile strength and superior fatigue resistance. This combination of properties ensures the springs maintain their shape and function reliably over millions of cycles, even under high stress. Zeron Fastners supplies SS 420 springs in various configurations, including compression, extension, and torsion types, for critical applications in surgical equipment, instruments, high-precision machinery, and other environments demanding resilience and strength.
