Spiral Disc Springs for slide gate

spiral disc spring

Spiral Disc Springs   In the mechanical field, spiral disc springs have become the preferred choice for many engineers and designers due to their unique structure and outstanding performance. Today, let’s delve into the world of materials used in double-coil springs and uncover the secrets behind them.     Definition and Applications of Spiral Disc Springs   As the name suggests, a double helix spring is formed by two spring wires wound together in a specific pattern. This structure enables the spring to distribute stress more evenly when bearing loads, thereby enhancing its load-bearing capacity and stability. It finds extensive…

Disc Springs: 0.5 mm Stacked to Deliver 10 t of Force—The “Spring King” in Mechanical Engineers’ Pockets

Disc Springs   1. What is a Disc Spring? It resembles a “metal bowl,” known professionally as a Disc Spring or Belleville Washer. Its cross-section is inverted conical, storing energy through “compression-rebound.” Stacking identical springs alternately, like LEGO bricks, instantly amplifies tiny deformations into ton-level forces.   2. Why can it “achieve big results with small means”? The core lies in its “high stiffness + nonlinearity.” A standard disc spring with thickness t=0.5 mm and outer diameter D=40 mm can generate approximately 2 kN of force with just 0.3 mm of compression per leaf. Stacking 20 leaves maintains the…

Disc springs used in IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) modules.

IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) modules often utilize disc springs for thermal management and electrical isolation purposes. These disc springs, also known as Belleville washers, are typically made of metal and are stacked together in a series. In IGBT modules, disc springs are primarily used for: Pressure Distribution: They help distribute pressure evenly across the module’s surface, ensuring proper contact between the semiconductor chips, baseplate, and cooling system. This is crucial for efficient heat dissipation. Thermal Management: By applying pressure, disc springs help improve the thermal contact between the IGBT chips and the heatsink. This reduces thermal resistance and…

Temperature extremes? What material should be used for a spring?">

Choosing the right materials for springs to withstand ever-changing thermal conditions. The material should possess excellent thermal stability, thermal expansion or contraction resistance, and the ability to maintain its mechanical properties over various temperatures. Here are 2 commonly used materials for springs in such conditions: 1. Inconel: Inconel alloys are known for their exceptional high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance. They can maintain their mechanical properties even at elevated temperatures, making them suitable for applications exposed to extreme heat. Inconel alloys also exhibit good resistance to thermal expansion and contraction, reducing the risk of loss of elasticity in springs. 2….

How to distinguish between ISO standard die springs?

How to distinguish between ISO standard die springs? Springs are an integral component in press tooling. The strength is indicated by the color. Starting with the lightest load. And ending with our super heavy load weight. We have all ISO 10243 series die springs in different colors. You can find the most suitable load for your needs. Please pay attention to the rectangular wire die springs have a cross-section greater than that of round wire springs. Given a larger mass and resulting in greater force. Do not use a die spring at its maximum stroke length. As this will…

Usage and application of helical spring

Usage and application of helical spring Helical spring is a mechanical part that uses elasticity to work. Parts made of spring steel deform under external forces and return to their original shape when the forces are removed. Springs are classified according to the form of load bearing into compression springs, extension springs and torsion springs. Compression spring The most common helical spring that bears axial pressure and can work independently. Application: Most commonly used in construction equipment, vehicle suspension systems, switches, or combiners. Extension spring The main feature of the stretch spring is that it can stretch and compress in a certain proportion….
