Kunshan spring manufacturer introduces the classification and basic uses of springs.
Springs can be divided into compression springs, tension springs, torsion springs and bending springs according to the force properties;
According to the shape, it can be divided into: coil spring, scroll spring, plate spring, disc spring, ring spring, special-shaped spring, etc;
According to the manufacturing process, it can be divided into cold coil spring and hot coil spring; According to the production materials, it can be divided into metal springs, plastic springs, rubber springs and other material springs.
Main functions of springs
1、 Control the movement of machinery, such as the control spring in the clutch and the valve spring in the internal combustion engine;
2、 Absorb vibration and impact energy, such as sofa seat spring, cushion spring under the train car and vibration absorbing spring in the coupling;
3、 Store and output energy as power, and the common ones are clockspring, spring in firearms, etc;
4、 Force measuring elements, force measuring devices, spring scales, etc. The spring also has the functions of measuring, resetting, driving, buffering, sounding and pressing. Compression spring is mainly used to bear pressure during working, which has the function of resisting and buffering pressure, and is widely used in machinery. The tension spring is mainly used for restoring the mechanism and is widely used in machinery. The torsion spring mainly bears the torsion moment when working, and has the performance of resisting torsion. It is often used for clamping the mechanism. The plate spring is mainly used to bear pressure during work and is mainly used for shock absorption. It is commonly used in the linkage of automobiles and tractors. The plane scroll spring is mainly used to store energy during working, and is widely used in clocks, instruments and experimental equipment. Belleville springs are mainly used to bear pressure when working, and are widely used in heavy mechanical equipment with large impact force.
