A spring is a mechanical part that uses elasticity to work. Generally made of spring steel, it is used to control the movement of parts, alleviate impact or vibration, store energy, measure the size of force, etc. It is widely used in machines and instruments. The types of springs are complex and diverse. According to the shape, there are mainly coil springs, scroll springs, leaf springs, etc.
The following three and spring manufacturers introduce the main functions of the spring:
①Control the movement of machinery, such as valve springs in internal combustion engines, control springs in clutches, etc.
② Absorb vibration and impact energy, such as buffer springs under automobiles and train cars, vibration-absorbing springs in couplings, etc.
③ Store and output energy as power, such as clock springs, springs in firearms, etc.
④Used as a force measuring element, such as a force measuring device, a spring in a spring balance, etc. The ratio of the load to the deformation of the spring is called the spring stiffness, and the higher the stiffness, the stiffer the spring.
