Instant Spring Quote Help
Why didn't I get an Instant Quote?
Some of the most common reasons for not generating an Instant Spring Quote can be easily remedied by addressing one or more of the issues below. Please use the table to determine how to adjust your design to generate an Instant Spring Quote .
| Issue | Issue Description | Solution | How do I get more Help? |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Wire Diameter (WD) |
0.008" to 1.250" Music Wire (MW) and Stainless Steel 302 (SST 302) in almost all sizes. For sizes 0.080" to 1.250" Chrome Silicon (CS) and Stainless Steel 17-7 (SST 17-7) in almost sizes. Please refer to the wire diameter table to check exact size 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 info@instantspringquote.com |
|
Index too small |
Minimum index is 4.5 on wire diameters from 0.008" to 0.236" and 5.0 on wire diameters 0.116" 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 info@instantspringquote.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 info@instantspringquote.com |
|
Outer Diameter (OD) is outside the quotable ranges |
Outer diameter must be larger than 0.046" and less than 5.000" |
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 info@instantspringquote.com |
|
Free Length (FL) is outside the quotable ranges |
Free Length must be larger than 0.130" and less than 36.000" |
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 info@instantspringquote.com |
|
Total Coils (TC) are outside the quotable ranges |
Minimum 1 active coil (3 total coils). Maximum 250 active coils. |
Make sure your spring has between 1 and 250 active coils. |
If you need a quote on a spring with active coils outside the quotable ranges, please email us at info@instantspringquote.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 info@instantspringquote.com |
|
Pitch is too high |
Pitch must be less than 12 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 info@instantspringquote.com |
