This conical spring must be used within its specified spring force range (10 N–50 N) and voltage window (-0.5 V to 5.0 V) to prevent electrochemical side reactions and mechanical failure. Material selection must account for electrolyte corrosivity, with 316L recommended for sulfide/chloride-containing environments.
- Voltage Compatibility: The spring induces no side reactions within a voltage range of -0.5 V to 5.0 V, but voltages outside this window may cause corrosion or contamination.
- Corrosion Resistance: 304 stainless steel offers general corrosion resistance, while 316L provides enhanced resistance to sulfide and chloride ions at elevated temperatures.
- Mechanical Fatigue: Fatigue life exceeds 10,000 cycles, but applied forces beyond 50 N may cause permanent deformation or buckling.
- Dimensional Precision: Diameter and free height tolerances of ±0.02 mm are required to maintain consistent contact pressure and fit within CR20 series coin cell cases.
- Assembly Conditions: The spring is supplied oil-free and burr-free for direct use in argon-filled gloveboxes without pre-cleaning.
What is the advantage of using this conical spring over a wave spring when assembling coin cells with thick electrodes or high active material loading?
The conical spring provides a higher spring force range of 10 N–50 N compared to wave springs which offer only 5 N–30 N according to the elastic springs specification table within this series documentation. This higher force combined with strong anti-buckling capability and good self-centering performance makes it specifically suited for thick electrodes and high-loading batteries where greater pressure is needed to maintain consistent contact without buckling.
Is this conical spring compatible with sulfide-based solid-state electrolytes if I choose the default material option?
The default material option corresponds to general purpose corrosion resistant grade per the important notice stating default accompanying accessories are made of general purpose stainless steel; however this product also offers an optional material choice specifically listed as resistant to sulfide ion corrosion per its core performance parameters making it suitable for sulfide solid-state battery systems.
Does this conical spring require any pre-cleaning or surface treatment before use inside an argon-filled glovebox?
No pre-cleaning or surface treatment is required because each spring undergoes rigorous quality control including surface quality verification ensuring oil-free condition before shipment per packaging specification; they can be used directly for battery assembly inside gloveboxes without additional treatment.
ATOMFAIR 304/316L Stainless Conical Springs (15.4×1.1 mm) provide a high spring force range of 10–50 N with ≥10,000 cycle fatigue life, optimized for thick-electrode and high-loading coin cells. Material options (304 or 316L stainless steel) address general or aggressive corrosion environments, but default dimensions and material availability may require customization for non-standard configurations.
Positive
- High spring force and fatigue life: Delivers 10–50 N force range with ≥10,000 cycle fatigue life, enabling reliable pressure control in thick-electrode, high-loading, and vibration-exposed battery assemblies.
- Material options for corrosion resistance: Available in 304 stainless steel for general corrosion resistance or 316L stainless steel for enhanced resistance to sulfide/chloride ions and high temperatures, compliant with ASTM A240.
Trade-offs
- Default size and material constraints: The default 15.4×1.1 mm dimensions and non-coated stainless steel options may not suit all cell configurations or specialized electrochemical settings; other sizes and materials require custom request via email.
- Packaging quantity may exceed lab needs: Supplied in 1000-piece packs, which may be excessive for small-scale or infrequent experimental usage, potentially increasing per-unit inventory cost.
