Die springs: more force in less space

When the required force would call for springs too large for the space available in the die, Bean Force multiplies the force of a smaller spring by up to 10 times.

The problem: high force, limited space

In a die every centimetre counts. Achieving high blank-holder, stripping or forming forces often requires large mechanical springs, gas springs or elastomers, which take up space in the working area and complicate the design.

The solution: multiplying the spring force

Bean Force takes the force of a spring (F1) and, using a lever principle, multiplies it up to 10 times. Installation sizes start from 50 × 50 or 60 × 60 mm.

FAQs

Does the Multiplier replace springs?

No, it makes the most of them: it starts from the force of a spring and multiplies it by up to 10 times.

Which springs does it work with?

With mechanical springs, gas springs or elastomer compression springs.

How much space is needed?

Installation sizes start from 50 × 50 or 60 × 60 mm.
