Torsion springs: where are they used and why did you choose to utilize them?

Time:2022-12-1

There are many types of springs, but the most common are torsion springs. The design of torsion springs is optimized to maintain maximum rotational pressure between two surfaces, these helical or helical springs are usually adhered to the coils at both suspended ends. These ends are connected to external components, which are then rotated to apply bending stress. Unlike other springs, torsion springs are ideally balanced and able to withstand twisting, giving them a place in many industries. Made of various coated metals such as stainless steel, carbon, titanium, nickel or copper alloys, torsion springs are usually wound around a shaft to further increase its stability. The basic principle of a torsion spring is to retain energy as the spring assembly twists. When this is applied, torque is applied in the opposite direction to the deformation angle. This allows energy to be stored and released when necessary, and the torsion spring also secures the mechanism when necessary.       Torsion springs are used in many applications; especially those using pop-up styles. They are used in various clamps and specific door mechanisms such as those found in CD players. One of the most obvious uses of torsion springs is undoubtedly in a mousetrap, which relies entirely on a centrally located torsion spring. They also sit in the center of traditional clothing clips. They are also used in heavier cases such as garage door balancers or car trunk opening mechanisms. Even in ancient times, primitive torsion springs were used as part of the giant catapults (or trebuchets) that were later used...

Qianye constant force spring application principle

Time:2022-9-13

Constant force spring is made by winding the steel strip into a coil. The stress added to the spring determines its diameter, strength, and life. The action of a constant force spring is very similar to the action of stretching a ribbon. Spring stretching and rewinding, the part of the work with the spring itself circle formed tangent, as long as the diameter of the spring is certain, the force of the spring is constant. In extremely long spring designs, varying diameters have an advantage, and the tension increases slightly as the spring is stretched. However, this increase is small relative to the length of the stretch and can be ignored in many applications.Constant force spring is made by winding the steel strip into a coil.

Analysis on the causes of carbon brush fault of generator set

Time:2022-9-15

In recent years, several safety briefings have successively reported shutdown accidents caused by carbon brush or rotor collector ring failure of large generator units, resulting in great economic losses to the enterprise.Carbon brushes are motor brushes. Improper maintenance and use of the carbon brush of the generator set during operation will cause accident load reduction or even shutdown.        Factors leading to carbon brush fault      Electromagnetic factors : when reactive or excitation current is adjusted, the spark of carbon brush has obvious change. When the exciter commutates, the contact between the carbon brush and the commutator is not good, and the contact resistance is too large ; the uneven thickness of the oxide film of the rectifier or slip ring causes the unbalanced distribution of carbon brush current ; or sudden change of load and sudden short circuit lead to abnormal voltage distribution between commutators ; unit overload and imbalance ; carbon brush selection is unreasonable, carbon brush spacing is not equal ; carbon brush quality issues, etc. Mechanical factors : commutator center is not correct, rotor imbalance ; large vibration of the unit ; insulation bulge between commutators or commutators bulge ; carbon brush contact surface grinding is not smooth, or commutator surface roughness caused by poor contact ; the commutator surface is not clean ; the air gap under each reversing pole is unequal ; spring pressure on carbon brush is uneven or unsuitable ; carbon brush in the brush grip too loose and jump, or too tight carbon brush in the brush grip stuck, etc. Reduced operating...

Variable force springs are very common in the point-of-purchase or POP industry, especially in shelf pushers. Variable force springs provide variable force to precisely match increasing or decreasing force requirements, propelling the product horizontally forward. Due to their wide applicability, these springs can be seen in the tobacco, cosmetic, electronics and medical industries. So why use variable force springs in shelf thrusters?       1. Inventory Control        Variable force springs are commonly used in trays that push products forward in a controlled manner. Variable-force springs in the push-in trays aid product fronts, so the shelves are always well-stocked. These trays allow for more organized store inventory and help track inventory needs. This is even more critical in today's COVID-conscious environment.         2. Product Integrity        Variable force springs are designed around the weight of the product they push. This ensures that the product is never slammed or damaged when it is selected. Variable force springs allow most products to be pushed with a consistent force regardless of item weight. At Qianye Precision, we understand the importance of displaying products in high-end retail spaces. We take this into account in every design.         3. Customer Satisfaction Variable force springs make shopping easier for consumers because products are displayed in a more organized and aesthetically pleasing manner. Products include cosmetics, nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals, beverages, food, and anything suitable for retail display.         In terms of the design of the variable force spring under consideration, because the force...

Do you know what springs are used as stop mechanisms?

Time:2022-9-14

We often find that the spring we make is wrongly used as a stop mechanism in the design. This design defect can occur in all types of springs, including constant force spring, constant torque spring and power spring. For example, consider a simple cable extension product in which the spring retracts the cable into the housing. If the spring is completely wound before the cable is fully deployed, the spring will be used as a stop mechanism. This action will damage the function of the spring and components and should be avoided at all costs. Here are some useful tips when considering the stop mechanism. Constant Force Spring Application:  Initial designs often show the inner end of a Constant Force Spring attached to its’ spool. This is not necessary.  If the spool is larger than the natural spring diameter, the spring will automatically fit tightly on the spool.  In the case when a screw is attached to the spool, additional concerns arise.  If the spring is pulled tight on the screw,  a hump will result that will not only make the retraction difficult but will cause a fracture point and reduce life cycles. To avoid this, we recommend that the spool maintain 1-1/2 wraps of spring material at the furthest extension.  If these additional wraps are not practical in the design, another method of stopping the rotation is required. Constant Torque Spring Applications:   This type of motor spring is commonly used to retract a cable or to keep a constant torque rotational force on a spool.  It is extremely important not...

Custom springs for medical devices

Time:2022-9-14

For most of the past two decades, the medical device industry has been booming. Healthcare research has led to the rapid expansion of specific devices used to treat medical needs, from rare to common. These devices range from simple to surprisingly complex, often including automatic sensors, computer monitoring, and even remote monitoring by healthcare providers. When you are designing for a new medical device, it is essential to consider the components you must put together and the system they will create. This means breaking down your design to a level where you can visualize the components that need to go into the project. This means designing each spring assembly individually after evaluating the available options. To help you solve this problem, here are the four most commonly used springs for medical devices and their current common applications.    Constant force springs Constant force springs provide a smooth range of motion and a constant load in either extending or retracting direction. This spring design has no inertia to overcome when considering the initial position forces. Constant force springs are compact and mount easily to existing hardware. These types of springs can eliminate the need for costly and complicated motors, thus decreasing device size and cost.   Spiral torsion springs Spiral torsion springs are normally used in applications requiring less than 360 degrees of rotation. They are generally used to obtain a large amount of torque through a small amount of rotation. Spiral torsion springs allow for rotation in two directions and a “return to center” capability, like a dental X-ray head unit.   Spring reels Spring powered...

Advantages of Qianye power spring in electrical take-up

Time:2022-9-14

As we all know, take-up spring can help take-up. It is used in many electrical products, and hair dryer is no exception. However, all such household appliances have a common feature, that is, they need a wire group to connect the power supply. However, this power line will bring some trouble to our sorting. The function of winding up lies in this. It can bring a free shrinkage process to the electrical wire group and make its winding up easy and practical. In fact, although the process of electrical wiring is not a high-end principle, it is better than cleverness. Its working principle is not complicated. It uses the spring box to limit the outer diameter, so that the center of the spring is connected with the power shaft. When the line is pulled out, it can make the shaft and the spring rotate relatively, and the spring will roll on the power shaft and store the corresponding kinetic energy. When the external force disappears, the spring will generate torque to drive the power shaft, so that the line can be retracted back into the box. In the take-up function of the reel, the effect of the power spring can not be underestimated. It can often help the required goods to take up the line quickly and simply, and become an auxiliary software favored by people. It is also due to the spring to store kinetic energy. It uses the characteristics made by the spring bearing force, and effectively uses its mechanical energy storage and driving force output, so that...

The spring in the timer

Time:2022-9-14

Timer is a precise timing device, which uses mechanical clock to drive the switch. Its time positioning is very accurate, and it can achieve such effect. Spring plays a great role in it. The emergence of timers has brought great changes to our lives. At first, we used the hourglass to determine the time. In modern life, timers have been widely used, enabling people to control time more easily, and even have been applied in military aspects such as time bombs and time detonators. The timer mainly includes three parts. The first part is the power component, spring one-way mechanism, can only tighten, not loose. Tightening the spring provides power for the whole system. The second part is the release component. By a series of gear speed, the number of rotation cycles increases when the spring is relaxed. At the end of the gear system, there are grab wheels, grab claws and swimming wires to ensure that the gear system rotates at a constant speed driven by the spring. There is a device on the swimmer to adjust the length of the swimmer to adjust the swing frequency of the grab claw to ensure that the gear rotates at the set speed, and the tightened spring won 't be loosened at once, nor is it affected by the spring tightness resulting in changes in speed. The third part is timing trigger device, so that a gear in the gear group turns to a certain angle to send a mechanical signal, control interruption. When the timer is screwed to a certain...
