What is a strap spring?
Sometimes when rotating in circular motions, a belt spring is needed instead of torsion springs that are designed to provide torsion. As a type of torsion spring, the belt spring is made of flat wires instead of round wires. The main difference between the two is in the way the power is delivered. Because a belt spring rotates around the axis of an object. And it applies its force to another object through the outer edge of the spring.
Stainless steel is one of the selected materials for making belt springs. Because the amount of wear on the metal is less. However, as with other spring products, we can offer customized solutions in other spring objects.
How to operate
The way the belt spring works is that the inner end of the spring is fixed on the shaft of the mechanism. while its outer end is connected to a fixed post. The belt spring is wound by twisting the inner end. When this spring is tightly wound, it produces a lot of torque.
Belt springs
Belt spring is also known as clock spring or constant force spring. The steel strip is wrapped several times to form this type of spring. These types of springs release a constant amount of force. Belt springs in machines that require multiple rotations. And at the same time they have to release the same amount of power, they are used. When more power is needed, belt springs are used.
Use
One of the most common applications of belt springs is in the manufacture of stainless steel parts in watches. The belt spring also allows the steering wheel to rotate. And it maintains a constant electrical connection to airbags, heaters and other steering wheel-mounted controls such as indicators.
Any device that requires a smooth system of contraction, recovery and return will probably use a belt spring. This can be anything from a retractable cable device in a theater or movie theater to a vacuum cleaner cord retractor. Automatic rings, mechanical timers, inflatable toys, etc. rely on a belt spring to do their job properly.
