What
are springs?
Springs
are widely used to relieve
shocking and vibration, accumulation
of energy, suppression
of pressure, etc.
Kinds
of springs
Classification
by Material used.
A)
Metal Spring
This
means a spring made of metal.(Carbon
steel spring, steel alloy spring
included)
B)
Nonferrous Metal Spring
This
means a spring made of nonferrous
metal(Copper alloy spring, Nickel
alloy spring included)
Classification
by Shape
A)
Coiled Spring - This
means a spring that its materials
is wire.
1)
Compression Spring
-
A spring that is subject to
compressive load in the coil
center line direction.
2)
Tension Coil Spring
-
A spring that is subject to
tensile load in the coil center
line direction.
3)
Torsion Coil Spring
-
A spring that is subject to
torsional force around the coil
center line.
B)
Plate Spring - Used where
much bending load is applied
mainly as a spring made to support
load by making
thin
and long plates a beam.
1)
Leaf Spring
-
A spring made by overlapping
many layers of plate.
2)
Spiral Spring
-
A spring used by winding a bend
of constant cross section in
spiral shape.
3)
Volute Spring
-
Conical Spring
4)
Disc Spring.
Usage
of springs
A)
It absorbs vibration or elastic
energy to act as buffing or
protection against dust.
Ex)
Shock absorbing spring for elevator,
suspension of subway and automobile.
B)
Save energy, and then use this
to operate as power source.
Ex)
Spring for meters, watch spring
of clock or camera, spring for
toys, phonograph,
spring
for trigger of guns.
C)
It is used to give constant
pressure by using restoration.
Ex)
Spring washer, safety valve
spring.
D)
It is used to measure strength.
Ex)
Spring mirror, all kinds of
pressure gauge.
