Spring is : a device used to store energy,
so that when the energy is needed, it is
released.
3
The mainly used material for manufacturing the
springs are as follows:
1) Hard drawn high carbon steel 06) Inconel
4
1) To apply forces and controlling motion, as in brakes
and clutches.
2) Measuring forces, as in the case of a spring balance.
3) Storing energy, as in the case of springs used in
watches and toys.
4) Reducing the effect of shocks and vibrations in
vehicles and machine foundations.
5
Ifthe deflection of the spring exceeds
some critical value than the spring will
buckle .

Helical springs
Leaf springs
Volute springs
Beam springs
Belleville springs
7
Helical spring is a spiral wound wire with a
constant coil diameter and uniform pitch.
8
Tensional springs
Compressional springs
Spiral springs
Torsional springs

1. It has some means of transferring the load
10
Among the four types, the plain end type is
less expensive to manufacture. It tends to
bow sideways when applying a
compressive load.
11
It is also a form of helical spring, but it rotates about an axis to
create load.
12
1. It is made of a band of steel wrapped around itself
a number of times to create a geometric shape.
2. Its inner end is attached to an arbor and outer end
is attached to a retaining drum.
3. It has a few rotations and also contains a thicker
band of steel.
4. It releases power when it unwinds.
13
• Sometimes it is also called as a semi-elliptical spring, as
it takes the form of a slender arc shaped length of spring
steel of rectangular cross section.
• The center of the arc provides the location for the
axle,while the tie holes are provided at either end for
attaching to the vehicle body.
• Heavy vehicles leaves are stacked one upon the other to
ensure rigidity and strenth.
• It provides dampness and springing function.
14
The beam spring is the name commonly
given to an IBM key switch mechanism
which was formally referred to in some
documents as the combination beam
spring and fly spring or beam/fly spring
interlock. It was used in almost all of the
keyboards that IBM designed during the
1970s
15
A Belleville washer, also known as a
coned-disc spring, conical spring washer,
disc spring, Belleville spring is a type of
spring shaped like a washer. It has a
frusto-conical shape which gives the
washer a spring characteristic.
16
A volute spring is a compression spring in
the form of a cone (a volute).
17
18
Thedesign of new helical involves the following
consideration.
• Space into which the spring must fit and operate
• Values of working forces and deflections
• Accuracy and reliability needed.
• Tolerances and permissible variations in
specifications.
• Environmental conditions such as temperature,
pressure of corrosive atmosphere.
• Cost and qualities needed

changes in shape, or deforms when
a force is applied to it.
