Stainless steel spring is a kind of mechanical part which uses elasticity to work. It is generally made of spring steel. It is widely used in machine and instrument to control movement of parts, to ease shock or vibration, to store energy and to measure force.
Spring is just an accumulator, it has the function of storing energy, but it can’t release energy slowly. To realize the function of releasing energy slowly, it should rely on “Spring + large transmission ratio mechanism“, which is common in mechanical watch.
Stainless steel spring is a kind of elastic element widely used in mechanical and electronic industry. When the spring is loaded, it can produce large elastic deformation and convert mechanical work or kinetic energy into deformation energy. After unloading, the deformation of the spring disappears and returns to its original state. And the deformation energy is converted into mechanical work or kinetic energy.
Stainless steel spring manufacturing materials should have high elastic limit, fatigue limit, impact toughness and good heat treatment performance. Carbon spring steel, alloy spring steel, stainless steel, copper alloy, nickel alloy and rubber are commonly used. The spring manufacturing methods include cold rolling and hot rolling. The spring wire diameter is less than 8 mm.And the hot coil method is used for those with the diameter less than 8 mm. Some springs are also subjected to strong pressure or shot peening after being made, which can improve the bearing capacity of the spring. The ratio of load to deformation of spring is called spring stiffness. The greater the stiffness, the harder the spring is.
