Wire Form Dimensions
The diagram and notes describe how to specify dimensions for wire forms. We have shown our preferred ways to specify dimensions to make it easier to inspect and produce your part.
Please refer to the legend below in regards to the wire form dimensions diagram:
- Bend segment drawn from edge of cut-off to theoretical corner of outside edges.
- Bend segment drawn from inside theoretical corner to inside edge of perpendicular bend.
- Bend segment drawn from inside edge of perpendicular bend to inside theoretical corner of inside edges.
- Inside angle.
- Inside diameter.
- Length from edge of cut-off to center of inside diameter.
- The accumulated variation of the overall length (F) will be larger than the variation of any one dimension that makes up that overall length. A dimension like (F) that is made up of a series of bends and feed segments should be a referenced dimension. If a tolerance on an overall dimension is required, it will have to be determined after a production run.
- Bend radius drawn to the inside edge of the bend.
- For low carbon (low tensile steel), we will use a bending pin with a diameter that equals 1.5X the wire diameter. So the inside radius of the bend will equal 0.75X the wire diameter.
- For harder spring tempered steel, we will use a bending pin with a diameter that equals 2X the wire diameter. So the inside radius of the bend will equal 1X the wire diameter.
