Wind up springs usually refer to power springs, which include conventional power springs, pre-stressed power springs, spiral torsion springs. when winding up the spring, it will generate the counterpart rotational torque. This restores or releases rotational torque processes that can be used in our applications like medical devices, children’s toys, clocks, automobiles, home appliances, etc.

This FAQ guide will teach you everything about wind up springs, have a check now!

What is wind up spring?

wind up spring normally is made of a flat strip, which can be the material of stainless steel, carbon steel, Inconel, etc.
wind up spring usually refer to the conventional power spring, prestressed power spring, spiral torsion spring, it can generate counterpart rotational torque when winding up.

Wind up spring mechanism

when we wind up the wind up spring, it will generate the counterpart rotational torque. according to this principle, we utilize this counterpart torque in our applications like medical devices, automobiles, toys, etc.

How does wind up spring work?

Wind up springs offer torsion in the work, We bound the arbor to the inner coil of the power spring and fixed the outer of the power spring to the housing. it has two ways to work.

  1. Fixed arbor. When the arbor is fixed and rotated the housing, then the housing will generate counterpart rotating torque.
  2. Fixed housing. Same way as above, when the housing is fixed and rotated the arbor, the arbor will generate counterpart rotating torque.

Application of wind up springs

Wind up springs have a wide range of applications, they can be used in children’s toys, cable reels, medical devices,  electric motor brushes, automotive interior, home appliances, etc.

What’s the material of the wind up springs?

Wind up springs can be made of stainless steel, high carbon steel, Inconel. The different raw materials will offer different performances, Yongsheng adopts high yield stainless steel to fabricate the wind up, it features rust-proof, high fatigue, good workability, and excellent mechanic properties.
