TYPES OF SPRING'S

There are three main types of springs are the helical springs, disk springs, and leaf springs. Each main type has different types of springs under it. For example, the helical springs consist of the torsion spring, extension spring, spiral spring, and compression springs.

Types of springs

There are several types of springs,

Compression Springs: These springs are designed to resist compressive forces. When the force is applied, they shorten in length.

Extension Springs: Extension springs, also known as tension springs, extend in length when a force is applied. They are often used to create tension in various applications.

Torsion Springs: Torsion springs work by twisting or exerting torque. They store and release energy when twisted.

Constant Force Springs: These springs provide a constant force throughout their entire range of motion. They are often used in applications like retractable cords.

Flat Springs: Flat springs are typically thin, flat strips of material that can bend or flex to provide spring-like properties. They are used in various industries.

Spiral Springs: Spiral springs are wound in a spiral shape and can provide torsional or axial force when compressed or expanded.

Wave Springs: Wave springs have a wavy or corrugated shape and are used when space is limited, but a strong spring force is required.

Belleville Springs: Also known as conical or disc springs, Belleville springs are conical-shaped and provide a high load in a small space.

Gas Springs: These springs use compressed gas to provide adjustable and controlled force. They are often used in automotive and industrial applications.

Clock Springs: Clock springs, also called flat spiral springs or power springs, are used in applications like clock mechanisms and spring-driven toys.

These are just a few examples, and there are many specialized types of springs designed for specific applications and industries.
