Motor spring

Motor spring for circular motion in max 10 and 20 coils, except pre-tension as specified below. The spring is usually positioned in a housing with the outer hook located around a pin or in a slot on the housing with the smallest internal diameter as specified below. It can also be placed in a larger housing, but with an associated decrease in force.

Clock spring

The clock spring (also referred to as a flat torsion spring) is designed to produce a torsional force (circular movement). In contrast to the tightly coiled motor spring on the previous page, the clock spring has open coils that, when mounted correctly, reduces fricton to zero. However, torque capacity is reduced as a result. The standard range is made from rounded edge stainless steel, which affords a better fatigue life.

Constant force spring

The constant force spring consists of strip material, which has been shaped and pre-tensioned into a tightly wound roll. The spring is used in a linear movement and produces almost constant force throughout its deflection. Constant force springs can be fitted in a number of ways and extended partly or completely. There is practically no limit on extension speed and acceleration.
