Factors affecting the rupture of power springs
Factors affecting the rupture of power springs
The power spring is made of stainless steel strip. A spring box is required to limit its outer diameter. The spring center is connected with the shaft. When an external force is applied to make the shaft rotate relative to the spring, the spring will roll on the shaft center and store the torque. When the external force disappears, the spring will produce the torque on the shaft or spring box.     The advantage of power spring is that it can be divided into natural power spring and pre force power spring according to its relaxed shape. In contrast, the preloaded power spring can store 25% to 55% more torque and provide more effective turns. Power springs are mainly used in products such as clockwork toys, timers and automatic rewinding devices (such as power cord, dog puller, pipe winder and automobile safety belt)     It is often seen that the scroll spring purchased will break soon after it...
How to make the constant force spring produce more force
How to make the constant force spring produce more force
A common way to install a constant force spring is to use two or more springs to obtain greater force in a narrow space. This may be necessary if the diameter or width of a single spring exceeds the allocated space, but there is room to add multiple smaller springs. When engaging multiple springs, a much smaller spring design can be used. The total force is the sum of the spring forces.       When combining springs, it is recommended to use the same spring for multiple installation. Compared with using two or more completely different springs to realize the load, this method is more economical and the design will be simpler. Since the force is the sum of the springs, the total force required should be evenly distributed between the number of springs used. We will discuss three different mounting methods for use with multiple springs.         1、 Back to back method The back-to-back method uses two...

How to determine the length of a constant force spring
How to determine the length of a constant force spring
  Constant force springs are mechanical devices used in applications that typically require some kind of balance or retraction mechanism. In design and function, constant force springs differ from the more common types of coil springs. They apply a consistent linear force or torque that remains constant over a wide range of motion. When a coil spring is under force, whether it is stretched, compressed, or rotated, it produces a force proportional to its stretch. How a spring responds when a force is applied or released is called spring deflection. Years of experience tell us what happens when a spring is released from its temporary state. We know that the spring will return to its original position, but it will be proportional to the force exerted on it before releasing. A spring has a restoring force that allows the elastic material to return to its original state - the equilibrium position after the applied force is removed. Stretching, squeezing or twisting, what...

When you walk into your office building on your way to work every day, or into your local bank, or any commercial facility, you may open a heavy glass door. When you cross the threshold, the door closes behind you, and you don't think about it. However, the heavy glass door was probably closed by a constant force spring. Constant force springs are widely used in daily applications. From door closers to rope and hose retractors, to sports equipment, toys, motors, etc., constant force springs exert force at an amazing high frequency and consistency. Let's take a closer look at the basic physics behind the constant force spring. In the 17th century, the British physicist Robert Hooke proposed a formula for force and elasticity, which is now called Hooke's law. Hooke's law states that the force (f) required to stretch or compress a spring for a distance (x) varies linearly in proportion to that distance. The formula is f=kx, where k is a constant and represents the stiffness of the spring.   Constant force springs in terms of actual spring performance, Hooke's law is nominal. In the equation, the distance X that the spring moves is a relatively small number. Finally, any elastomer that is stretched or compressed beyond the stress limit of its material composition will show signs of deformation. Therefore, the force properties that depend on the consistent shape and tension state will change in the deformation state. Ideally,constant force springs will exert a consistent force over a given range of motion, repeating without changing. In fact, constant force springs, like all elastomers, are limited...

 The Advantages of Torsion Springs over Other Spring Types
The Advantages of Torsion Springs over Other Spring Types

Time:2023-3-22

Springs are essential components in many mechanical systems, serving to store and release energy in response to applied forces or changes in position. There are various types of springs available, including compression springs, extension springs, and torsion springs. In this article, we will focus on the advantages of torsion springs over other spring types.   What are Torsion Springs?   Torsion springs are a type of helical spring that exert torque or rotational force when twisted. They work by storing mechanical energy when twisted, which can be released when the torque is released. Torsion springs are commonly used in a wide range of applications, including garage doors, clothespins, and balance scales.   Advantages of Torsion Springs:   Greater Load-Bearing Capacity: Torsion springs have a greater load-bearing capacity than other spring types. This is because the load is distributed more evenly across the coils, allowing for greater force to be applied without causing damage to the spring. The ability to withstand higher loads makes torsion springs an excellent choice for heavy-duty applications.     Compact Size: Another advantage of torsion springs is their compact size. Torsion springs can store a considerable amount of energy in a small space, making them ideal for applications where space is limited. This is because torsion springs store energy by twisting, rather than compressing or extending, which means they do not require as much space as other spring types.   Greater Durability: Torsion springs are also more durable than other spring types. This is because they are typically made from high-quality materials that are resistant to...

 Custom springs for medical devices
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...
