Yongsheng Spiral Torsion Springs Design

When we intend to design a spiral torsion spring, most of all, we need to know the application of the spiral torsion springs.

Compare with other’s flat coil springs, The spiral torsion springs mechanism feature obviously in the appearance, they own the almost same distance between each coil, which makes it zero friction and nearly linear counterbalance tortion when exerting rotation torque less than 360 degrees, once surpass 360 degrees rotation, the coils begin to be closed and the torque will burst in a short time.

This feature of almost linear torsion can be wildly used in many applications, like timers, brush motors, clocks, some toys, and so on.

YongSheng has been manufacturing springs for more than 18 years, has rich experience and a powerful R&D team makes us can easily handle all kinds of applications, customize it for you not just from the material, but also length, thickness, width, inner diameter, outer diameter.

With 18 sets of special forming machinery at hand, Yongsheng can produce 6,000,000 pcs flat wound springs every month. You will never feel anxious for springs stockout in the peak season.

in the below table, you can find several standard types of spiral torsion springs (standard tools and don’t need to open mold), choose your types, and you will get a good price.

if can’t find your ideal type, it doesn’t matter, please feel free to inquire about our expert to custom your idea products.

T is thickness, W is width, L is length, O.D is the outer diameter. Normally, if you want us to produce a new style of spiral torsion spring, we need to know this information like thickness, width, O.D size, and Arbor size.

Meanwhile, if you want to design a new style of spiral torsion spring in your application, it’s better to tell the case size and shaft size besides the application, our engineer can assist you to design the CAD drawing based on this information.

FAQ

What's the formula of spiral torsion spring?

For various sakes, we need to calculate the torque force of spiral torsion spring.

YongSheng has listed the formula of spiral torsion spring’s torque force in below, it’s better for understanding to refer to the above illustration. note: the ∅ value normally is less than 360 degrees when we use it.

M=πEwt³∅ /6L (N·mm)

E= modulus of elasticity (MPa)
∅= angular deflection in revolutions
L= Length of active material (mm)
M= torque force (N·mm)
W= Material width (mm)
t= Material thickness (mm)

How to make a spiral torsion spring?

Before making a spiral torsion spring, it’s better to make it clear where we will use this spring, the different applications will require different specs, and it will determine some parameters like the material width, length, thickness, inner diameter, outer diameter, and so on.

After affirming the applications, we will select the suitable raw material, and adjust the program of the automated digital control forming machine, and the springs will be shaped through this machine.

Any spiral torsion spring calculator recommend?

As for the torsion force, we can get it through the spiral torsion springs calculator.

Thickness, width, inner dimension, outer dimension all are the parameter.

For your information, https://www.allrite.com/clock-spring-calculator.html

This website is the easiest way to custom the specs of your spiral torsion spring by visually inputting your requirement,
our engineer also uses this calculator to design the spiral torsion springs.

What's flat spiral torsion spring?

Flat spiral torsion spring also called the spiral torsion spring, clock spring, flat torsion spring, it is made of stainless steel strip, and through the special digital control forming machine to forming, and people usually use the feature of linear rotational force to realize some functions.

Spiral torsion spring application?

Based on the special feature of almost linear rotational force, the spiral torsion spring are wildly used in timer, brush motor, automotive interior, and some medical equipment.

With less than 360 degrees rotational torque, it’s very ideal for clock mechanisms and some toys applications.

Refer to the video, spiral torsion springs for the clock mechanism.

How does a spiral torsion spring work?

When we mount the spiral torsion spring into the housing or shaft. It can generate constant counterbalance once we exert rotational torque, and the flat wound coils will be generally compacted as the exet rotational torque continues. This constant counterbalance will be continued unless the rotational torque is over 360 degrees, this special feature makes it very fit for some applications like motor brushes, timers, etc.
