The use of springs

A spring is a common mechanical component that stores and releases mechanical energy. It has the following uses:

1. Buffer and shock absorption: in some mechanical structures, springs can be used as buffers and shock absorbers to reduce or eliminate the vibration and impact of machine operation.

2. Transfer force: The spring can also be used to transfer force, for example, the spring can withstand pressure and tension, in some cases can transfer external force to other mechanical parts.

3. Hold the shape: Springs are often used to hold the shape of connecting parts or strip materials, such as spring, circlip, buttons, etc.

4. Adjust mechanical parameters: spring can change its stiffness, strength, proportional coefficient and other physical characteristics by adjusting their length, diameter, wire diameter, winding parameters, so as to meet the requirements of different mechanical design.

5. Vibration control: The installation of springs to control the vibration of machinery or equipment, such as the suspension system of a car, can reduce the vibration and shock in the road.

6. Bearing capacity: Springs can also bear the action of weight or force by adjusting their type, quantity and size. For example, spring, elastic nut, etc., can be used to bear doors, Windows, mechanical equipment and human skeleton.

7. Energy storage: A spring is a mechanical element that stores and releases energy and can convert mechanical energy into electrical energy or other forms of energy under certain circumstances.

8. Dynamometer: The spring dynamometer is a widely used tool, based on Hooke's Law, used to measure the pressure or weight applied to an object.

9. Anti-theft device: Spring lock is a kind of spring bending and twisting to protect equipment and maintain security of anti-theft lock, can be used for a variety of doors, boxes, safes and other items.

In short, the spring has a wide range of applications in modern industrial production and daily life. These applications can help the machine run more smoothly and achieve better results. Spring is a kind of widely used mechanical component, in industry, military, medical and other fields have important applications.
