Wire Forms

Multi-coil wave springs are made from flat-rolled spring wire that is coiled to a helical shape and the coils are at the same time given a sinus shaped wave form. The force-deflection relation is created by flattening out the wave form when the spring is compressed. The function is hence like a helically shaped leaf spring.

Volute Springs are used as compression springs and made from flat material coiled to a volute. The coils of the material overlap each other and are guided radially by each other during compression, thus giving the spring a stability against buckling that cannot be achieved with conventional compression springs.

Many applications require two similar springs, but with one right-hand coiled and one left-hand coiled. In some cases, these two springs can be combined into a double spring, which has one right and one left-hand coiled spring body connected to each other.

Torsion bar springs is a good alternative to clock springs or helical torsion springs, when a rotational torque is needed in applications where the spring shall fit into a space that is limited radially, but with lots of space axially.
