What is the main function of the spring?

There are many kinds of springs. According to the nature of the load received, springs are mainly divided into four types: tension springs, compression springs, change springs and flexion springs. According to the shape of the spring, it can be divided into spiral spring, dish spring, ring spring, plate spring, spiral spring and so on.

A spring is an elastic element that operates through its own large elastic deformation. It is widely used in various machines. Its main functions are:

1. Control the movement of machinery, such as the spring that controls the opening and closing of the cylinder valve of the internal combustion engine, and the control spring in the clutch;

2. Absorb oscillation and shock energy, such as the damping spring in various vehicles and the spring of various buffers;

3. Store and release energy, such as wall clock springs, bolt springs, etc.

4. Measure force, such as spring scales and springs in dynamometers.

A spring is a mechanical part that works with elasticity. A part made of elastic material deforms under the action of an external force, and then recovers to its original state after the external force is eliminated. Also called "spring". Generally made of spring steel. The types of springs are messy and varied. According to the shape, there are mainly spiral springs, scroll springs, plate springs, special springs and so on.
