10637 / 10515 Spring

10637 / 10515 Spring

Purpose:

The spring is intended to store and release mechanical energy by compression, extension or torsion. It is used in various mechanisms and devices to provide return motion, damping, stabilisation and the maintenance of force.

Characteristics:

  • Material: Usually made from carbon or stainless steel, which provides strength, elasticity and durability.   • Types: May be made as a compression, extension or torsion spring depending on the specific application.   • Compression spring: Decreases in length under load and returns to its original state when the load is removed.   • Extension spring: Increases in length under load and returns to its original state when the load is removed.   • Torsion spring: Works in torsion and returns to its original state when the torque is removed.   • Shape: Cylindrical or conical, depending on the design requirements.

Functionality:

  • Energy storage: storage of mechanical energy during deformation and release of this energy to perform useful work.   • Return motion: Provides return motion in various mechanisms, for example in shock absorbers, valves or handles.   • Damping: absorption of impacts and vibrations, which helps protect mechanisms and devices against damage.   • Stabilisation: Maintaining stable forces in mechanisms, preventing them from going out of adjustment or slackening.

Advantages:

1. Versatility: Widely used in various branches of industry thanks to its ability to store and release energy. 2. Durability: Manufacture from high-quality materials provides a long service life and reliability. 3. Efficiency: Effectively performs the functions of damping, stabilisation and return motion, improving the operation of mechanisms.
