Torsion springs are mechanical components widely used in the industrial sector, and they are crucial to the proper functioning of many machines and tools. In principle, torsion springs are designed to store energy when twisted, and they release this energy by returning to their original position, oscillating around a central axis. The key challenge in designing torsion springs is achieving a precise deflection rate and repeatability, as well as ensuring long-term stability and durability.
Traditionally, torsion springs were manufactured from wire, bar stock or stampings, which provided a cost-effective solution for medium-to-low volume production. However, these methods typically result in residual stresses, non-uniform material properties, and unpredictable deflection rates, which can lead to inconsistent performance. Moreover, the standardization process for these types of springs can be difficult, and it can be challenging to achieve the exact properties required for a specific application.
To address these limitations, ABSSAC developed an innovative solution for precision torsion springs: machining from solid material. Machined torsion springs can provide very precise, linear deflection rates because virtually all residual stresses are eliminated. The stress found in machined torsion springs is dominantly a pure bending stress, providing a more reliable and accurate part. By using advanced CNC turning and milling machines, ABSSAC can manufacture torsion springs with extremely tight tolerances, ensuring consistent performance and long-term durability.
One of the key advantages of ABSSAC's machined torsion springs is their ability to achieve custom shapes and geometries. Unlike wire or stampings, solid material can be machined to very complex and precise shapes, allowing for unique and customized torsion springs that can fit a specific application. ABSSAC can produce torsion springs with various end configurations, such as closed loops, hooks, or tangents, and diameters ranging from 0.5mm to 12mm. Furthermore, ABSSAC can produce torsion springs from various materials, including stainless steel, titanium, brass, aluminum, and plastic.
ABSSAC's machined torsion springs offer a range of applications, from aerospace and medical devices to consumer electronics and automotive components. In aerospace applications, torsion springs are used in landing gears, wing flaps, and satellite dishes. In the medical sector, torsion springs are used in surgical instruments, implantable devices, and diagnostic equipment. Torsion springs are also used in household appliances, such as doors, windows, and furniture, and in automotive applications, such as brake systems, sunroofs, and seat belts.
ABSSAC's commitment to precision and quality is reflected in their ISO 9001 certification. The company's extensive experience and expertise in spring design and production, combined with state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, make them an industry leader in precision torsion springs. ABSSAC's torsion springs offer superior performance, repeatable results, and custom solutions for any application.
