"Flat spring" is a broad term referring to springs made from flat metal strips or sheets (as opposed to round wire). They are not a single type but a vast family with extremely diverse designs and functions. They are typically designed to provide pressure, tension, torque, or retention force within a specific path of motion or in a plane.
Core Characteristics:
Material Shape: Manufactured from flat metal material, which is the fundamental difference from round wire springs.
Space Utilization: Their shape can be custom-tailored to perfectly fit extremely limited or irregular installation spaces.
Functional Diversity: Capable of performing complex functions such as guiding, resetting, contacting, and cantilever support, often serving as multi-functional key components in machinery.
Main Types and Applications:There is a wide variety of flat springs, including:
Motor Brush Springs: Installed in motors, using their spring force to maintain stable contact between the carbon brush and the c…
