STANDARD PRODUCTS

WIRE SPRINGS

Compression Springs

A spring that uses the repulsive force generated from compression. It is the most commonly used among coil springs. Advanex possesses the world's smallest machining technology for compression springs of minimal size.

Extension Springs

These are the second most commonly used coil springs after compression springs. They are used in applications requiring force generated through extension, contrary to compression springs.

Torsion Springs

Springs with legs at both ends that attach to products and utilize the repulsive force generated by twisting. Torsion springs are custom-made for various products and require design modifications such as leg shape and load calculations.

Conical Springs

Conical springs are compression springs manufactured by wrapping the wire and machining it into a conical shape as the name suggests. The bend of the body, and depending on the shape, the height of close contact can both be reduced.

Wire Formings

This refers to a spring that has been bent, rounded, or crushed into the desired shape from a coil-shaped or fixed-length metallic material. We propose NC multi-forming and forming machines (depending on the dimensional accuracy) for a wide variety of wire diameters.

Spring Calculation Program

This is a calculation program for all types of springs that incorporates the proprietary technology of the ADVANEX Group. If the customer wishes to check the load capacity of the spring in the design or to check the durability of the spring before requesting a quotation. Feel free to try it out by clicking on the button below.

Welcome to trial calculation

FLAT SPRINGS

Precision Pressings

This is a press that forms springs through extraction, bending, rounding, or crushing plates and strips of metallic material into the desired shape.

Multi Formings

Springs made by drawing, bending, rolling, or crushing a metal material of a certain width with a multi-forming machine, or a shaped part thereof. Cutting and multiple bending can be done in a single process.

Forging press

A product made by cutting, bending, drawing, and crushing plate and strip-shaped metallic materials with dies and plastically deforming them in a massive assembly press machine. At Advanex, this process is classified as Cold forging.

Insert Collars

This refers to metal reinforcing fittings used to fix molded products with bolts. The Advanex employs multi-forming machines that extract, crush, and curl plates and strips of metal.

Deep drawing product series

DEEP DRAWINGS

We specialize in thin-walled deep drawing and can handle drawing depths up to 37 times the outer diameter. We also aggressively take the challenge of processing new materials, including brass, red copper, phosphorous deoxidized copper, tough pitch copper, beryllium copper, phosphor bronze, nickel-nickel, iron (SPCE, SPCC), stainless steel (SUS), plated steel plates, aluminum, nickel, and cladding.

Insert molded product series

INSERT MOLDINGS

Parts made of different materials, such as plastic and metal, are integrated. It can be used in a wide range of products, including parts for digital camera lenses, connectors, electronic components, automotive electrical components, antenna components, and lithium-ion battery components.

Assembly series

SPRING ASSEMBLIES

Multiple materials and various components are combined using various fastening processes to produce finished products.

STANDARD PRODUCT

Tangless Inserts

Tangless inserts are made by processing diamond-shaped materials into coils. When these are inserted for reinforcement of female threads, they are fixed to the base metal by the spring-back action . By inserting soft metals, cast iron, resin, and other materials with weak internal threads, a reliable and strong screw fastening force can be obtained.

Tangless Inserts Kit

This kit is perfect for using small amounts of tangless inserts that are ideal for trial uses and repairing female threads. Since its structure is the same as the conventional automatic insertion tool, it can be used without any discomfort even if it is subsequently shifted to the automatic insertion tool.

LockOne

This item can easily be installed using a commercially available socket wrench. It is also cleared for use of an impact-type vibrating tester that conforms to NAS3350 standards. Sizes range from M4 to M24.

Application overview of thread sheaths

Threaded sheaths are common and important small accessories in many industries, from aerospace and automotive to electronics and railways. They are a universal connection accessory that can enhance the mechanical integrity between various components.Through the integrated role of thread jackets, manufacturers achieve greater durability, greater stability and higher performance in mechanical joints and overall designs.In this article, we will explore how thread inserts are used in these industries and the added value they bring.Mechanical Benefits of Threaded Jackets Threaded jackets join components or elements together in a safe and secure manner.They are located between the screw hole and the fastening element and, by adjusting radially and axially, evenly distribute the tension on the bolt/screw.Therefore, threaded sleeves provide superior fastening capabilities compared to other mechanical joint solutions.Improved Strength - By dissipating tension evenly throughout the threads, thread jacketing increases the yield strength of the joint.Enhance

Threaded Jackets: A Guide to Aerospace Standardization

As the aerospace industry shifts toward greener practices and strives to improve operational efficiency, the role of each component, down to the smallest threaded jacket, becomes critical.These tiny but vital components ensure the integrity and reliability of mechanical joints, ensuring they can withstand extreme conditions while meeting strict environmental standards.This guide takes an in-depth look at the specific aerospace specifications that govern the application and quality of thread sleeves.Meeting these stringent standards ensures parts meet high performance thresholds while helping to achieve the sustainability and efficiency goals of modern aerospace design.By adhering to these specifications, engineers can ensure the safety, performance and durability of aircraft components, ensuring they perform optimally in their demanding roles.Aerospace Specifications: The Importance of Compliance Aerospace engineering requires tight tolerances and world-leading quality standards to maximize efficiency while maintaining aircraft safety.therefore,

Threaded Jackets and Aerospace

Sustainability has become a driving force in modern aircraft design, with lightweight materials and components becoming increasingly popular to reduce weight and maximize fuel efficiency.Nonetheless, the aerospace industry also considers safety and reliability a top priority, but improvements in efficiency are often hampered by the sensitivity of light metals.In this context, components used in aircraft manufacturing, maintenance, repair and overhaul face stringent requirements due to the extreme challenges of flight.These components need to meet all requirements for lightweighting while complying with strict specifications and industry standards.Why Aircraft Standards and Specifications Are Necessary In the aerospace industry, parts need to be able to withstand the harsh conditions of takeoff, landing, flight and long-term storage.To improve safety and operability, parts must meet the following requirements: High Loads and High Stresses: Aircraft components must be able to withstand high loads and stresses without deforming or failing.This ensures extreme power during takeoff, flight and landing
