Hi, I have a question for you.
Could you tell me the usefulness of coil springs in familiar objects around us?
Springs play an important part in various places and things that we do not usually notice. Suspensions for automobiles, switches for home appliances, keyboards for personal computers, cameras, etc.
There are almost no familiar equipment or devices, large machines or structures that do not use springs.
I have found a hand-made spring (wire form) made from stainless steel (I think) with a thickness of 0.3 to 0.5 mm, and a length of 1.5 cm. The middle part can be bent up to about 60 to 70 degrees. (There is no special bending, nor bending into circles, etc., it is just a little bent.)
I tried hard to find out where it came from, but I could not. Please let me know if you know any examples of using this kind of spring with this material.
Spring Newbie, thank you for your question!
There are a lot of applications for compression springs from thin wires, especially torsion coil springs whose arms are attached to both ends.
Since your question is about small springs, due to their sizes, there are countless examples of use, from in large to small machines, or in household electronic devices… The applications are various depend on the purposes.
Thanks again for your question!!!
