Extension springs are used in both heavy industry and in domestic tools and machinery; from the cars, we drive to the motorbikes or even to the pens we use. Springs are essential in the construction industry. Heavy machinery as well as minutely accurate scientific equipment use springs to provide the necessary contact pressure, to balance […]
Flat Springs Flat springs are flat strips from a material which can be used to store and at the same time release energy when an external load is used to deflect. Such kinds of springs are small and metal-stamped constituents that work as a spring by regulating the deflection that takes place in small or […]
What is a constant force spring? A constant force spring, also known as clock spring, is typically a roll of pre-stressed strip that can exert a mostly constant force to withstand uncoiling. This is achieved because the changes in the curvature’s radius are also constant. However, the force is just truly constant when this variation […]
