Constant force springs

Because they provide a uniform force, constant force springs are used in many industries as a retraction element. They can be used as tension/compression springs for long extensions with constant force and as torque generators with controllable spring characteristics.

 

  1. Spring width: 1.8 - 100 mm
  2. Spring thickness: 0.05 - 3.0 mm
  3. Material: Textured carbon and stainless steels
  4. Service life: Up to 50,000 load cycles
  5. Minimum hysteresis
  6. Very uniform force-displacement characteristic

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS OF CONSTANT FORCE SPRINGS

Constant force springs for weight balancing

Window balance system

window balance system, window lifter, constant force spring

Assembly consisting of MIGRA 1A constant force springs and plastic parts. Each spring is marked with its force for identification.

These modules are used as weight compensation for opening vertical sliding windows.

Counterweight

spring balancer, constant force spring, counterweight

MIGRA 2B constant force springs are mounted on a coil or bushing, or they run freely in a cavity or recess.

Spring balancer systems are used for weight compensation, e.g. in machines for height compensation or in roller blind systems on skylights.

Constant force springs for push and pull systems

Kinematic module cup holder

constant force spring, kinematic module, cup holder

MIGRA 1A type constant force springs are ideal for applications with a linear motion, e.g. in kinematic modules.

The spring pushes the cup holder out of the dashboard to within reach of the vehicle occupants.

Cable retractor

Cable retractor, constant force spring, cord reel

The MIGRA 2B constant force springs is mounted on a plastic supply roller. The name MIGRA stands for MInimum GRAdient.

Vacuum cleaner cables can be wound up with a power spring or constant force spring. Thanks to its flat characteristic curve, the constant force spring runs smoothly and easily.

Sun blind

perforated constant force spring, sewn on sun blind panorama glass roof car

The constant force spring is perforated over its entire length, allowing it to be sewn to the sun blind.

The spring supports the guidance of the sun blind under a panoramic glass roof of a car. It tightens the sun blind and keeps it in shape.

Constant force springs for feed systems

Product feed (point of sale)

product feed, feeding system, point of sale, constant force spring

The constant force spring covers a progressive force curve.

When products are removed, the spring pushes further products evenly towards the buyer.

Carbon brush holder

double roll spring, double constant force spring, carbon brush holder, kinematic modules

MIGRA 2A constant force springs consist of 2 connected springs, which allows the force to be divided; ideal for small installation conditions.

The spring presses the carbon against the commutator (e.g. electric motor) with a constant force. Due to the uniform contact pressure, the electric motor has a longer service life and smoother operation.

Constant force springs as protective covering

Dirt cover

Teleskopfeder, Schmutzabdeckung, Schraubenabdeckung

Telescopic springs are given its typical shape in a special rolling process. Thanks to the spring force, they follow the machine movements.

Telescopic springs protect moving machine parts such as spindles from dirt, extending their service life.
