What are the main functions of springs? There are many kinds of springs, if according to the nature of the load it bears, the spring is mainly divided into four kinds, such as stretch spring, compression spring, torsion spring and bending spring. If according to the spring shape can be divided into spiral spring, dish spring, ring spring, plate spring, coil spring, etc. The basic types of springs are listed in the table.

Spring is a kind of elastic element that works through its own large elastic deformation. It is widely used in all kinds of machines. Its main functions are:1. Control the movement of machinery, such as the opening and closing spring of the cylinder valve and the control spring of the clutch in the internal combustion engine; 2. Absorb vibration and impact energy, such as damping springs in various vehicles and springs of various buffers;3. Store and release energy, such as clock spring, bolt spring, etc.;4. Measure the magnitude of the force, such as the spring in the spring balance and dynamometer, etc.

A spring is a mechanical part that USES elasticity to work. The parts made of elastic material are deformed under the action of external force, and restore to original condition after removing external force. Also known as a spring. It is usually made of spring steel. The type of spring is complex and diverse, according to the shape, there are mainly spiral spring, coil spring, plate spring, shaped spring and so on.
