Characteristics
Power springs are sometimes referred to as clock springs, spiral torsion, flat spiral springs, motor springs or brush springs, they are made by tightly winding a spring material on an arbor in a circular case and attaching the free end to a metal or plastic case which is designed to store and release a rotational energy in the form of torque, that makes up a power spring are able to offer a high force output with very small space requirements.
There are two basic types of power spring-" Conventional Power Springs" that has a shape which spirals away from center in the same direction as it is wound, where the advantages are lower stress, best cycle life and easiest to manufacture.
Alternatively, the Prestressed Power Spring has a portion of it's shape that spirals in the reverse direction of winding, it can creates higher stresses which result in higher torque output up to 25% than a conventional power spring, and also yields a flatter torque gradient.
Both methods have their advantages and the best option varies depending on the application and requirements, often, these springs are designed for customer specific applications and are used in the automotive, aerospace & defense, medical, industrial, electronics markets and commercial goods. Custom Power Springs and Conventional Power Springs are available at TSMC, our experienced engineers can assist you select a spring design to meet your space, life cycle, load and operation requirements.
