Applications of Strip Springs in Industry

These are components that play a crucial role in very diverse industrial sectors. Strip springs, often referred to as spiral springs, possess unique properties due to their rather unusual shape, making them indispensable in many devices and mechanisms. What are their advantages and where are they applied? In this article, specialists from Spretech answer these questions – we invite you to read on!

Key Properties and Advantages of Strip/Spiral Springs

This is a type of spring made from a flat metal strip, which is coiled into a spiral. They are characterized by their ability to store and release energy in a controlled manner, making them ideal for many mechanisms requiring high operational precision. They are typically produced from high-quality carbon or stainless steel.

The main advantages of strip/spiral springs include:

• Exceptional resistance to mechanical damage and wear,
• High precision of motion,
• Compact design – they are typically small and lightweight, enabling their use in even highly precise mechanisms.

Application Examples of Strip/Spiral Springs

These components are currently utilized in virtually every industry. Strip/spiral springs have broad applications in sectors including, but not limited to:

• Automotive industry – e.g., seatbelt retractor mechanisms and seat adjustment systems,
• Electronics industry – used, for example, to control the movement of needles (or pointers) in various gauges and meters,
• Medical industry – used in the precision mechanisms of inhalers, insulin pumps, and other devices,
• Furniture industry – mechanisms for folding/unfolding various pieces of furniture and for height adjustment..

Additionally, strip/spiral springs are used in a wide variety of industrial machinery.
