Issue | Issue Description | Solution | How do I get more Help? |
---|---|---|---|
Wire Diameter |
0.008" to 0.078" Music Wire (MW) and Stainless Steel 302 (SST 302) in all sizes. For sizes 0.079" to 1.250" please refer to the wire diameter table Click here! |
Please make sure your wire diameter corresponds with one on the wire size list | If you need a quote out of another wire diameter please email us at quote@acxesspring.com |
Index too small |
Minimum index is 4.0 on wire diameters from 0.008" to 0.115" and 3.0 on wire diameters 0.118" and above Index = Mean Dia. ÷ Wire Dia. |
If your index is too small you will need to decrease the wire diameter or increase the outer diameter | If you need help with a spring index issue, please email us at quote@acxesspring.com |
Index too large |
Maximum index is 25.0 on all wire diameters. Index = Mean Dia. ÷ Wire Dia. |
If your spring index is too large, you will need to increase the outer diameter or decrease the wire diameter | If you need help with a spring index issue, please email us at quote@acxesspring.com |
Outer Diameter is outside the quotable ranges | Outer diameter must be larger than 0.050" | Make sure you increase the OD to 0.050" or greater. | If you need a quote on a spring with an OD outside the quotable ranges, please email us at quote@acxesspring.com |
Free Length is outside the quotable ranges | Free Length must be larger than 0.130" | Make sure you increase the FL to 0.130" or greater. |
If you need a quote on a spring with a FL outside the quotable ranges, please email us at quote@acxesspring.com |
Total Coils are outside the quotable ranges | Minimum 1 active coil (3 total coils). Maximum 500 active coils. | Make sure your spring has between 1 and 500 active coils. | If you need a quote on a spring with active coils outside the quotable ranges, please email us at quote@acxesspring.com |
Solid Height is greater than Free Length |
Solid height must be less than free length. Solid Height = Wire Dia. x Total Coils + Wire Dia. |
Make the wire diameter smaller, the free length longer, or reduce the number of coils. | If you need help solving a solid height conflict, please email us at quote@acxesspring.com |
Pitch is too high | Pitch must be less than 10 times the wire diameter. | Add coils, increase the wire diameter, or reduce the free length. | If you need help solving a pitch conflict, please email us at quote@acxesspring.com |
