Lee Spring – constant force, constant torque, constant load springs
Constant Force Springs from Lee Spring
The full rated load of the spring is reached after being deflected to a length equal to 1.25 times its diameter. Thereafter, it maintains a relatively constant force regardless of extension length. Load is basically determined by the thickness and width of the material and the diameter of the coil.
As with all spring applications the mounting of the spring is crucial to its effective operation. A constant force spring is usually mounted by first tightly wrapping it on a drum, then attaching the free end to the loading force such as in a counterbalance application. This relationship can be reversed, however, with the free end mounted stationary and the spring itself providing the working force, as with carbon brushes in electrical apparatus.
The asymmetric design of a constant force spring gives rise to additional interesting possibilities such as tandem or laminar mounting which enables simple doubling of force – or the intriguing back-to-back style of installation which not only multiples force but also balances the asymmetric forces improving stability of the assembly.
This variety of possibilities gives rise to a range of considerations for the design engineer – possibilities that Lee Spring addresses on their Complete Guide to Spring Engineering website – http://springipedia.com.

Exotic alloys - Lee Spring explain what they are and when to use them
Materials with high alloy content, known as super alloys or exotic alloys, offer enhanced performance properties including excellent strength and durability, and resistance to oxidation, corrosion and deforming at high temperatures or under extreme pressure. Because of these properties, super alloys make the best spring materials for demanding working conditions, which can be encountered across various industry sectors, including the Automotive, Marine and Aerospace sectors as well as oil and…
REDUX™ Wave Springs from Lee Spring – an enabling technology
Lee Spring REDUX™ wave springs offer a way of performing a spring function in minimal spaces – even perhaps where no other spring could work effectively. Typically, REDUX wave springs occupy just 30-50% of the compressed height space of the conventional round wire springs, yet they offer more deflection with the same load specifications. This not only helps to save space in the applications but also reduces the production costs,…
