Barrel compression spring
Barrel compression springs, also called convex springs, are an integral part of many mechanical systems and are known for their unique bending design.
Advantages and applications of barrel compression springs
The barrel compression spring has a larger diameter coil in the middle and a smaller diameter coil at both ends. It is different from the traditional straight coil spring and has a curved or raised profile.This design allows the coils to fit together when the spring is squeezed,It is mainly used to generate linear forces.
The design of these springs is complex and requires precise curvature to ensure a uniform distribution of stress during compression. Factors such as the degree of curvature, material properties and overall size determine the characteristics and performance of the spring.
Barrel compression springs are used in applications where space is limited or a more concentrated load is required, and their unique shape makes them ideal for certain types of valves, actuators, and clutches, especially in the automotive and aerospace industries. And in construction machinery such as excavators, cranes and bulldozers, barrel springs help manage heavy loads and harsh operating conditions.
When the linear compression spring is compressed, there is not enough stability, so there will be bending phenomenon, for this reason, the outside diameter of the two sections of the coil is small, forming the barrel compression spring, which can provide better stability.
Barrel body compression springs are used to generate linear forces when the outer diameter above and below is less than the outer diameter of the center. The use of barrel springs can reduce space and prevents bending. We can customize barrel springs in a variety of configurations to suit different needs. Barrel springs are widely used in the automotive, toy and furniture industries to reduce bending while being flexible enough to accommodate many different designs.
When the pressure is too high, the spring will bend to get rid of the pressure, by placing the ordinary spring in the hole or on the shaft, you can prevent bending, but if not, you can use the barrel compression spring. The center of the barrel compression spring is followed more than the end, so the pressure distribution is different, resulting in better stability.
Why choose barrel compression springs
The design limitations of conventional compression springs may conflict with the height of solids,When the compression coils are squeezed together during compression,This kind of conflict happens,So much so that they can’t compress.That’s the problem with these kinds of springs.
The barrel compression spring can solve this problem very well, because the top and bottom of the barrel compression spring are smaller coils, and the diameter of the middle is relatively large, which can compress the small circle into the larger coil in the center, resulting in the height of the solid.
The middle diameter of the barrel compression spring is larger, and the two ends are smaller. Sometimes referred to as a convex spring, the barrel body of the spring makes it less likely to bend under load, and often these compression springs are made longer than fixed coil springs. Generally, the end coils of the barrel compression spring are closed to ensure that the spring remains centered on the support rod.
Barrel compression spring in the design and production, you can customize different diameters, different shapes, for you to choose.
Other barrel body compression springs
We can also precision process for your Convex springs,Surface treatment is optional:Electrophoresis, stainless steel, nickel plating, electroplating, galvanizing, spraying, blackening, etc.
The barrel compression spring is a special type of spring that is more difficult to design than an ordinary compression spring because the force it produces is not always linear.
