Conical extension spring

Conical extension spring are designed and manufactured by tapering the last few coils and then forming hooks at these reduced ends. The main purpose of this spring is to reduce the stress on the hook so as not to break.

Another advantage of Conical extension spring is the ability to create a rotary hook stretch spring with a separate “S” hook that can be inserted into the reduced end. These types of hooks are able to move freely, ensuring that the application is aligned correctly. In larger wire diameter stretch springs where the load may be large, the ends can be tapered downward for fitting plugs or even large ring bolts.

Conical extension spring is a special type of spring, its shape is similar to the vertebral body, with unique structural and performance characteristics. It is a spring whose outer diameter gradually decreases with length, and its shape is similar to that of a round vertebra.

Conical stretch spring features:

  • Linear characteristics: The Conical extension spring has linear characteristics, when the load increases, its shape variable is proportional to the increase of the load, this characteristic comes from its unique structure and material choice.
  • High strength and stability: Conical springs are usually made of high strength and elastic alloy materials, with a high elastic limit and fatigue limit, able to withstand heavy loads and maintain stable performance.
  • Shock absorption and buffering: The conical spring can be deformed when it is subjected to pressure or impact force, so as to absorb energy and play the role of shock absorption and buffering.
  • Support and positioning: Due to the shape characteristics of the conical spring, it can produce a large centripetal force, which helps to keep the position of the object stable.

Applications of Conical extension spring:

  1. Car suspension system: used to absorb the vibration caused by uneven road surface, improve the stability and comfort of driving.
  2. Mechanical equipment: In the positioning system of the equipment, the cone spring can be used to fix the position of the parts to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
  3. Photographic equipment: In the design of the head of photographic equipment, the conical spring is used to adjust the height of the camera to achieve fine tuning of the shooting Angle.

The manufacturing process of Conical extension spring is relatively simple, which can achieve mass production and reduce production costs. Conical extension spring are usually made of high-strength elastic alloy materials, which have a relatively uniform stress distribution and a high elastic limit, which can ensure the stability and durability of the spring.

When the conical stretch spring is used, it is necessary to select the appropriate spring parameters according to the specific application scenario, such as: the diameter, length, number of turns and material of the spring.

We need to pay attention to regular inspection and maintenance of the Conical extension spring to ensure that it can handle the best working condition and avoid equipment failure or safety accidents due to spring failure.

Conical extension spring is a type of spring with unique structural and performance characteristics. It is widely used in many fields. Through reasonable design, selection and use, conical stretch springs can give full play to their performance advantages such as shock absorption, cushioning, support and positioning.

A Conical extension spring is a spring whose diameter is gradually reduced by winding two or three or even four coils of the spring body. Conical tension springs are ideal for heavy duty or high cycle applications. The hook is designed to extend life compared to standard extension springs of similar size. The swivel hook configuration is particularly advantageous because the ends can be rotated freely to ensure alignment, reducing hook stress.
