The Types of Spring

Springs are classified according their properties. Depending on load they may be classified as: • Tension/Extension spring • Compression spring • Torsional spring In tension/extension and compression there is axial load. On the other hand in the torsion spring there is torsion force. Depending on spring material it can be classified as: • Wire/Coil spring • Flat spring The most common types of spring are: • Cantilever spring - a spring which is fixed only at one end. • Coil spring or helical spring - a spring (made by winding a wire around a cylinder) and the conical spring - these are types of torsion spring, because the wire itself is twisted when the spring is compressed or stretched. These are in turn of two types: • Compression springs are designed to become shorter when loaded. Their turns are not touching in the unloaded position, and they need no attachment points. • A volute spring is a compression spring in the form of a cone, designed so that under compression the coils are not forced against each other, thus permitting longer travel. • Tension or extension springs are designed to become longer under load. Their turns are normally touching in the unloaded position, and they have a hook, eye or some other means of attachment at each end. • Hairspring or balance spring - a delicate spiral torsion spring used in watches, galvanometers, and places where electricity must be carried to partially-rotating devices such as steering wheels without hindering the rotation. • Leaf spring - a flat springy sheet, used in vehicle suspensions, electrical switches, bows. • V-spring - used in antique firearm mechanisms such as the wheellock, flintlock and percussion cap locks. Other types include: • Belleville washer or Belleville spring - a disc shaped spring commonly used to apply tension to a bolt (and also in the initiation mechanism of pressure-activated landmines). • Constant-force spring.
