Springs – Spiral Spring

Springs – Spiral Spring

Spiral Spring

A spiral spring is made by coiling flat strip material (such as stainless steel) into a flat spiral shape. One end is fixed, and the other deflects under force, creating bending energy storage.
Features:

• Stores energy through bending deformation

• Simple structure and easy installation

• Ideal for applications requiring high energy in limited space

Applications: Electronic devices, timing mechanisms, retractable reels, toys, etc.

Clock Spring / Spiral Torsion Spring

A clock spring, also known as a spiral torsion spring, works by storing and releasing energy through torsional (twisting) deformation. It's widely known for its use in clocks and steering systems.
Features:

• Provides continuous torque

• Supports large-angle rotation (over 360°)

• Designed for applications where rotary motion is needed

Applications: Steering wheel airbags, cable reels, sensors, medical devices, etc.

Spiral springs, as a special type of spring, feature a unique structure and function, and are widely used across various industries. With the continuous advancement of manufacturing technology, the design and production of spiral springs are becoming increasingly precise, enabling them to provide power and functionality to a broader range of products.
