Abssac torsion springs have linear spring rates
An
Abssac product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Nov 9, 2009
Abssac supplies unwind and wind-up torsion springs with linear spring rates.
Since the part is machined, Abssac can incorporate any form of end attachment into the torsion spring.
Machined torsion springs can provide very precise, linear deflection rates because virtually all-residual stresses are eliminated.
In the machined torsion spring the tang is integral and without stress, making it a rugged and reliable attachment.
The application of a moment is possible using a pure couple.
It is also possible to resolve the moment by an integral torque restraint on the coil side.
The spring is suitable for medical, aerospace, semiconductor and motor-sport industries.
The machined spring is suitable wherever a wound spring does not meet performance criteria or a new spring design requires high accuracy and repeatability.
The spring can be used in critical or high-duty cycle environments and is machined to meet exact size and performance requirements.
Predictable linear rates are available to meet application requirements and special or custom end attachments can be incorporated into the one-piece design.
Titanium, steels, high-strength steels, aluminium and engineering plastics can be utilised.
Parallelism and perpendicularity improves reliability and performance.
