A detailed introduction to the functions and characteristics of special-shaped springs.


  Special-shaped springsare a general term for various commonly used springs with different shapes, functions, and special purposes. In recent years, the development of industry and the increasingly complex demand for various categories have greatly contributed to the application of computer spring machines in this area. The produced spring products have high precision and fast production efficiency, and more importantly, they have driven the continuous development of the entire spring industry. Special-shaped springs are classified into different types and names due to their different characteristics and shapes used in various special occasions.

The following are widely used special-shaped springs along with their types and functions:

1. Variable diameter spiral, mainly used in some special occasions. Springs are generally made of round cross-section materials and mostly bear compressive loads.

2. Sheet type of special-shaped springs, mostly made of spring strips (or plates), this process is carried out using corresponding molds on specialized equipment or general pressure processing machines.

3. Rectangular, when installation space is limited, rectangular cross-section materials are often used. Therefore, under the same space and deformation amount, a larger bearing load can be obtained. Compared to those made of round cross-section materials, rectangles have a larger cross-sectional area under the same spatial conditions, thus absorbing more energy. They are mainly used in heavy machinery, stamping molds, or springs with particularly high stiffness.

4. Disc-shaped, due to their small size and light weight, they are widely used in cushioning, vibration isolation, etc., and are also widely used in stamping molds, valve clutch fasteners, large engineering machinery, etc.

5. Convex spiral compression among special-shaped springs. Due to the smaller coils at both ends that can be embedded into the middle coil, a larger deflection can be obtained. For example, convex automotive brake springs remain in a tense state; when the car valve opens, the spring restores its deformation to activate the brakes.

6. Spiral, its function and principle are similar to that of conical spiral springs. It absorbs pressure and can absorb a large amount of energy. However, due to manufacturing difficulties, it is only used in special cases where space is limited.

7. Plate springs among special-shaped springs are generally composed of single or multiple pieces of spring steel plates and have characteristics such as cushioning and vibration reduction. They have strong cushioning and vibration reduction performance and are mainly used in suspension systems of automobiles, tractors, or railway vehicles.
