Characteristics and Functions of Special-Shaped Springs


  Special-shaped springWhen loaded, it can produce a large elastic deformation, converting mechanical energy or kinetic energy into deformation energy. After removing the external force, the deformation of the special-shaped spring disappears, restoring its original state and converting deformation energy back into mechanical energy or kinetic energy.

The special-shaped spring is a mechanical component that works using elasticity, primarily made of spring steel. It is used to monitor the movement of parts, reduce impacts or vibrations, store energy, measure force, etc. It is widely used in machines and instruments, with a complex variety made from wire, shaped for various purposes, and can also be customized according to market needs.

Characteristics and functions of special-shaped springs

A linear spring-shaped profile spring assembly consists of four or more forming tools distributed vertically around the center line of a main shaft, used for guiding wire in a direction that is vertical or nearly vertical to the main shaft, advancing along the extension direction of the main shaft's center line. The special-shaped spring and the forming tools impact the wire fed from the top of the main shaft.

Main functions of special-shaped springs

They can control the movement of machines, such as monitoring special-shaped springs in clutch devices. They can absorb energy from vibrations and impacts, such as shock-absorbing special-shaped springs under cars and train carriages. They store and transmit energy in the form of power, like special-shaped mainsprings in clocks. They are used in force measurement components, such as force gauges, where the ratio of force to deformation is called stiffness. The greater the stiffness, the harder the special-shaped spring.

Special-shaped springs are common mechanical components. Most devices and products have their components; they are very versatile and practical parts. When using springs horizontally, guide pins and springs can wear and crack. When the flatness of the installation surface is poor, the parallelism of the mating surfaces can cause spring deformation and localized high-pressure cracks. Poor parallelism can lead to deformation after more than 300,000 uses; if usage does not exceed 300,000 times, improving the parallelism of the installation surface is necessary. Using without pre-tension can cause springs to vibrate up and down due to gaps, leading to deformation. If there is pre-tension, it will create more stable pressure from larger compression amounts, which can cause damage as it gradually closes. As the constant of hardware special-shaped springs increases, it leads to a higher load curve that generates high stress and causes cracking. If there is too small a gap between the outer diameter of the countersunk hole and it, friction between expansion and countersunk holes due to spring compression can cause stress concentration cracks; a better diameter for countersunk holes is 1.5mm for springs with an outer diameter.
