Flat coil torsion spring

Flat coil torsion spring is a spring with special shape, its main feature is to wind a slender material of equal section into a flat spiral linear spring. One end of the spring is fixed, and the other end produces bending elastic deformation under the action of torque, so that the spring produces torsion in the plane, and the size of the deformation Angle is proportional to the torque.

Flat coil torsion spring is a spring that coils the strip material into a helical center line on the plane, and exerts the spring function by applying external force to one end of the spring. Because it can store a large amount of energy in a relatively small space, it is used as a power source for common objects and purposes such as watches or moving large structures. There are two shapes that are in contact with the material and not in contact with the material. Choose the shape according to the load characteristics and use of the spring.

When it comes to flat coil torsion springs, we tend to think of small springs used in watches, but we can also design and manufacture flat coil torsion springs of various sizes. In order to fix and operate our flat coil spring, the central part and the peripheral part of the flat coil spring need to be machined, but we do not provide specific shapes, and will implement the fixing method and the machining of the fixed part according to your requirements.

What is flat coil torsion spring? How it’s made.

  • Concentric helices are formed in the manufacturing process of flat coil torsion springs. This mechanism stores and releases energy by applying a rotational force. The torque generated per revolution is linear for the first 360°, and if the deflection exceeds 360°, the coils usually “close” or touch each other, which causes the torque to rise rapidly.

Flat-coil torsion spring is a kind of special-shaped spring, and the material is wound into a flat spiral linear through a specific process. The production of flat coil torsion spring is relatively simple, but its stiffness is small, and it is generally suitable for the working environment under static load. There are various ways of fixing the fixed end, including hinge fixing, pin fixing, V-shaped fixing, lining fixing, etc.

Flat coil torsion springs have a variety of advantages, these mechanical devices are very durable and long service life, cost-effective. They are also easy to use and adjustable for use in vehicles and other applications. They are relatively small and can be installed in a variety of environments, especially those with limited space.

Flat coil torsion springs are typically designed with a heavier material than watch springs to produce greater torque within a shorter rotation Angle. Usually, these springs are finished with lubricant, preservative or powder layers, if your application can work well with flat coil torsion springs, please let us know your requirements.

Advantages of the wide use of flat coil torsion springs in automobiles:

  1. Shock absorption and cushioning: the flat coil torsion spring can play a role in shock absorption and cushioning in the car, especially in the suspension system, seat system and other parts, which can effectively absorb and disperse the impact force from the halogen surface, improving the smoothness and comfort of driving.
  2. Support and transmission: the flat coil torsion spring can also provide stable support and transmission power to ensure the stable connection and normal operation between the various parts of the car, for example, in the elevator, doors and Windows and other applications, the flat coil torsion spring also performs well.

As an important mechanical component, flat coil torsion spring plays an important role in various fields. Through reasonable selection and use of flat coil torsion spring, the performance and stability of equipment can be improved to meet various complex work needs.

Flat coil torsion springs are most suitable for installation Spaces with limited axial space but large radial space, they are made of ribbon material or flat coiled wire, rolled into a flat spiral shape. The coil is usually a linear spiral, with the same coil spacing everywhere under no load. They share many similarities with power springs, but their operating range rarely exceeds one turn.
