Product Description

Product Description

A collage of different applications where spiral springs are used, such as in machinery, automotive parts, or industrial equipmen


Power springs, meticulously engineered from rectangular cross-section material, are designed as flat-wound coils that incorporate distinctive retaining holes or end bends to ensure their secure functioning. As the length-to-thickness ratio (L/t) of these springs increases, there is a substantial expansion in the spacing between the individual coils. This expansion can lead to increased spacing between the coils, which could potentially affect their performance . To address this, and to maintain an optimal amount of deflection without unnecessarily taking up space, power springs are often enclosed within a protective housing or casing when they are deployed in various applications. This enclosure not only helps in reducing the spatial requirements of the spring but also safeguards the integrity of the coils, ensuring their efficient operation and a longer service life. The housing provides a stable and controlled environment, which is crucial for the spring to deliver consistent performance and torque, making power springs an ideal choice for a wide array of mechanical and engineering applications where precise energy storage and release are required.

Our production

1. Material selection: The material of the helical spring must have a high fatigue limit, yield point, and sufficient impact toughness. Commonly used materials include carbon spring steel wire, piano wire, oil-quenched and tempered carbon spring steel wire, etc. They have different characteristics and application scenarios.
2. Process flow: The manufacturing process of helical springs includes steps such as coiling, heat treatment, and stress relief treatment. During the coiling process, it is necessary to precisely control the geometric parameters of the spring, such as wire diameter, spring mean diameter, free height, total number of coils, effective number of coils, pitch, etc.
3. Equipment maintenance: Regularly maintain and calibrate production equipment to ensure the stability and reliability of the equipment. For example, the maintenance of an automatic spring coiling machine includes regular inspection and replacement of worn parts to ensure the accuracy during the coiling process.
4. Quality control: During the production process, strict quality inspections need to be carried out on the finished products, including dimensional accuracy, surface quality, elastic characteristics, etc. Analyze and handle non-conforming products to improve the overall quality of the product.
5. Environmental control: Keep the production environment clean and control the temperature to prevent the spring from being polluted or affecting its performance due to temperature changes.
6. Personnel training: Ensure that operators receive professional training and understand the production requirements and operating procedures of helical springs.
7. Production records: Record various parameters and quality inspection results in the production process in detail for tracking and continuous improvement.
8. Safety measures: Comply with safety production regulations to ensure the safety of personnel during the production process.
9. Maintenance: Conduct regular inspection, maintenance, and upkeep of the spring to extend its service life.
10. Design calculation: In the design stage, detailed calculations need to be carried out, including the load, stiffness, shear stress, material diameter, mean diameter, effective number of coils, etc. of the spring to ensure the rationality and reliability of the design.

Our quality control

Quality control during the spiralspring production process mainly includes the following aspects:

Material selection: The material of the spiral spring needs to have good elasticity and toughness to ensure the durability and stability of the spring. Therefore, the selection and inspection of materials during the production process is very important.

Production process: During the production process of spiral springs, parameters such as the size, shape and wire diameter of the spring need to be strictly controlled to ensure the performance and quality of the spring.

Heat treatment: spiral springs usually require heat treatment after production to enhance their elasticity and wear resistance. In this process, parameters such as temperature and time of heat treatment need to be strictly controlled.

Inspection: After the spiral spring is produced, it needs to undergo comprehensive quality inspection, including hardness test, elasticity test, fatigue test, etc., to ensure that the performance of the spring meets the requirements.

Traceability mechanism: In the production process of scroll springs, it is also necessary to establish a complete product traceability mechanism so that when quality problems occur, the causes can be found in time and improvements can be made.

In general, quality control in the spiral spring production process is a comprehensive task, which requires comprehensive control from material selection, production process, heat treatment, testing and traceability to ensure the quality and safety of scroll springs. The performance meets the requirements.
