Machined Springs Pamphlet
Machined Springs Pamphlet
Helical Products Co., Inc. introduces machined springs using HELI-CAL Flexure technology, offering advanced performance compared to traditional springs. These springs are designed to integrate multiple functions into a single unit, enhancing system performance and reducing costs.
- Unique flexible helix configuration providing performance in compression, extension, torsion, lateral bending, and translation.
- Single or multiple functions integrated into one piece, improving efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
- Precise performance and broad range of spring rates.
- Enhanced safety, repeatability, and predictability.
- Integration with entire assembly and cost reduction.
- Accommodates various spring modes, including compression-extension and torsion.
- Multiple start flexures resolve moments, providing pure moments in torsional springs.
- Machined springs allow for various end configurations such as threads, flanges, slots, and pinholes.
- Eliminates the need for traditional torsional spring tangs, offering more design flexibility.
Helical offers free engineering consultations and technical support to assist with design and application needs. Customers are encouraged to leverage their expertise for optimal solutions.
Helical's machined springs represent a significant advancement in spring technology, providing superior performance and integration capabilities for modern applications. For more information, visit their website or contact them directly.

A single start spring is a singlecontinuous coil element whichstarts at one end and terminatesat the other end. This configurationis common to most springs. Adouble startӔ spring has twointertwined continuous coil elements.In effect, this puts two independenthelixes in the same cylindrical plane.Multiple start flexures, such as triplestart etc., are similar extensionsof the concept. >

The operational limitations of loops andhooks are not present with machined springs. The tangs common to traditionalӔ torsional springs are not needed.The incorporation of a cross slot,double tangs, spline or bolt circle, allows for a pure moment attachment so that there are no unresolved forces or moments. >
