INDUSTRY COMPONENT

Calibration Spring (if applicable)

Precision spring for tension calibration in industrial machinery

Component Specifications

Definition
A calibrated spring component designed specifically for tension adjustment mechanisms in industrial machinery, providing precise and repeatable force application to maintain optimal tension settings during operation. It ensures consistent performance by compensating for wear, temperature variations, and load changes.
Working Principle
Operates on Hooke's Law (F=kx), where the spring force is proportional to its displacement. When integrated into a tension adjustment mechanism, it applies a calibrated force to maintain or adjust tension in belts, chains, cables, or other transmission elements. The spring's pre-load and stiffness are engineered to provide specific tension ranges.
Materials
High-carbon steel (SAE 1070-1095) or stainless steel (AISI 302/316) with optional corrosion-resistant coatings (zinc plating, powder coating). Material selection depends on environmental conditions and load requirements.
Technical Parameters
  • Diameter 10-50 mm
  • Spring Rate 5-50 N/mm
  • Fatigue Life >1,000,000 cycles
  • Wire Diameter 1-5 mm
  • Deflection Range 2-20 mm
  • Temperature Range -20°C to 120°C
  • Operating Force Range 10-500 N
Standards
ISO 10243, DIN 2098
