Characteristic

The characteristic of shrapnel is that it is easy to bend in only one direction - a small stiffness plane, while it has a large tensile and bending stiffness in the other direction. Therefore, sheet springs are very suitable for use as sensitive components, elastic supports, positioning devices, flexible connections, etc. in detection instruments or automatic devices.

Application

According to the characteristics of materials, spring plates are widely used in various types of contact devices for actuators in different environments, and most of them are straight cantilever type leaf springs with simple shapes. The resistance of the contact piece must be small, so it is made of bronze.

The function of the measuring sheet spring is to transform the force or displacement. If the fixed structure and load bearing method can ensure that the working length of the spring remains unchanged, the stiffness of the sheet spring is constant in the small deformation range, and if necessary, non-linear characteristics can be obtained, such as pressing the spring onto the limit plate or adjusting screw and changing its working length.
