Flat spiral torsion spring
In the process of manufacturing, the flat spiral torsion spring will form a concentric spiral, which is a mechanical device that stores and releases energy by applying a rotating force.
Flat spiral torsion springs are available in a variety of materials for development projects or prototypes, including carbon steel, stainless steel and specialty alloys, each with the following unique advantages:
- Carbon steel: Carbon steel is widely used in engineering springs and may require pre-galvanized layers or additional corrosion protection.
- Stainless steel: Stainless steel has a heat and corrosion resistance, is a necessary metal alloy for the manufacture of spiral torsion springs.
- Specialty alloys: Metals such as chromium and cold-drawn nickel are best suited for applications that require high corrosion resistance at extreme temperatures.
Flat spiral torsion spring is a kind of spiral spring subjected to torsion deformation, and its working part is tightly wound into a spiral shape, but different from the traditional spiral compression spring or tensile spring, the end structure of the spiral torsion spring is a variety of shapes of twisting arms, which can be internal arms, center arms, long arms or arms and other forms.
Flat spiral torsion spring product features:
- Unique structure: the end structure of the torsion spring is a variety of shapes of the torsion arms, which can be designed into different shapes and lengths to meet the specific application needs.
- High degree of customization: Because different use environments have different requirements for the wire diameter, torsion arm shape and torque of the torsion spring, customers often require customized torsion springs. These customized requirements may include bending on the torsion arm, different lengths of the torsion arm, pitch of the spring, etc., to ensure that the torsion spring can be perfectly integrated into the equipment and play its role.
- Stable performance: the well-designed and manufactured spiral torsion spring has stable performance and can maintain its elasticity and resilience for a long time, thus ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.
When designing and manufacturing spiral torsion spring, the following points need to be noted:
- Processing of the twisting arm: the twisting arm should be bent once during manufacturing to avoid processing defects and correct plastic processing. After the torsion arm is finished, a second stress relief annealing should be carried out to ensure the stability of the torsion spring.
- The gap between the rings of the spring: because the flat spiral torsion spring is mostly a close ring, the compression force similar to the initial tension of the stretching spring will be generated between the spring rings, which may lead to the friction generated during loading and unloading and the lag phenomenon. Therefore, when designing and forming, there should be a gap between the spring rings to reduce hysteresis and improve the performance of the spring.
- Customized requirements: Because different use environments have different requirements for the wire diameter, torsion arm shape and torque of the torsion spring, customers often ask spring manufacturers to produce customized torsion springs that suit their own. These customized requirements may include bending on the twist arm, different lengths of the twist arm, pitch of the spring coil, etc., to meet the specific application needs.
Note on the use of flat spiral torsion spring:
- Avoid overload: When using the spiral torsion springs, it is necessary to avoid exceeding its maximum bearing capacity, so as not to cause the torsion spring to break or break.
- Correct installation: The installation of the torsion spring should be carried out in strict accordance with the product manual or technical requirements to ensure that the torsion arm of the torsion spring can be matched with other components in constant.
- Regular inspection: Regularly check the status and performance of the torsion spring, such as deformation, wear or damage, should be replaced in time to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
Flat spiral torsion spring is an important mechanical component, which has the characteristics of unique structure, high customization and stable performance, and is widely used in various occasions that need to withstand torsion deformation. Through reasonable design and manufacturing process, the flat spiral torsion spring can be produced to meet various requirements, providing stable and reliable support and power for mechanical equipment.
