However, the production of rectangular die springs is difficult, and the cost of production is high. In this study, we examined the use of die springs with circular cross section (circular die springs), which are both easier to produce and less costly, in place of rectangular ones. To this aim, the fatigue life values of both die spring with equivalent specifications were compared experimentally. The results obtained were transferred to the finite element methods software to run the simulation of the fatigue test. From the experimental results obtained, it has been observed that using circular die springs in place of rectangular die springs is always possible, provided that the springs are guided with cast polyamide guides.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCompression springsFatigueStressCircular die springsDie springsFatigue analysisFem analysisSpring fatigueScience & technologyTechnologyEngineering, mechanicalMaterials science, multidisciplinaryEngineeringMaterials scienceArticle00035567700000479981238710.1111/ffe.122691460-2695
