For absorption, as well as accumulation of potential mechanical energy in various mechanisms and devices, such details as springs are used, for more details see http://pr.org.ua/prugina-sgatiya/. Springs can be made from a wide variety of materials, but steel products are considered the most common. Depending on the specifics of the application, some types can be manufactured:
- From steel wire of various thicknesses by winding on special equipment.
- Using annealed steel followed by quenching after technological forming.
You can get a more detailed technical specification using the online catalog of the site of a Ukrainian supplier from the manufacturer of these products to the domestic market, and to simplify the search task, we present the established methods of their classification.
- Extension Springs
They are made by winding without intermediate gaps between the turns, which allows to significantly reduce (compensate) the working load arising during stretching.
- Compression Springs
The product during winding is provided with gaps between the turns, the permissible height of which should not be less than 10% and more than 20% of the working displacement of each turn with the maximum compression of the product.
- Torsion springs
They have an insignificant turn angle with an allowable gap of up to 0.5 mm. The bending of the end folds is compensated for by the hooks that are formed under torsional load.
The main parameter of compression and tension springs is the stiffness coefficient, calculated using the initial data, taking into account the diameter of the wire used, the diameter of the turns, the number of turns and the shear modulus. To obtain accurate parameters, you should not bother yourself with rather complicated mathematical calculations. It is enough to use the advice of a technical specialist of a company selling springs through an Internet resource, and he will help you choose the model you need.
