The working principle of springs is based on the elastic deformation characteristics of materials, and the conversion of mechanical functions is achieved by storing and releasing elastic potential energy. When external force acts on the spring, the material undergoes compression or tensile deformation, storing energy; After the external force disappears, the spring releases energy through elastic recovery force.
Core working principle
Springs undergo elastic deformation (such as compression, tension, or torsion) under load, storing deformation energy. After unloading, the material returns to its original state and releases energy, converting it into mechanical work or kinetic energy. This process relies on the elastic properties of the material (such as the elastic modulus of spring steel) to achieve energy storage and release.
Typical application scenarios
Construction machinery: The tensioning spring assembly adjusts the tension of the track through pre tensioning force to ensure the stability of the equipment's walking system.
Industrial equipment: Nitrogen gas springs are used in mechanical design for buffering, positioning, and other scenarios, achieving dynamic balance by compressing and storing energy.
In the field of electronics, spring machines achieve precision machining or assembly tasks by controlling spring deformation and energy release.
