Telescopic springs made of spring strip material for gear hobbing machineProducts specifications:
Function:
springs can be used for all vertical, horizontal, and diagonal axial movements. Their elasticity allows them to follow the movements of the machine. They are held in place on one side in a socket sleeve, and in a centering flange on the other.
Applications:
We distinguish between horizontal and vertical applications. In order to avoid sagging,springs for horizontal applications are wound tighter and with more overlap than those for vertical use. Vertical springs have greater spring forces and extension lengths- they are working against gravity! When referring to the selection table, please therefore ensure to pay attention to the differing lengths for horizontal and vertical applications.
In order to prevent dirt from entering the turns, we recommend installing the spring such that the larger diameter faces upwards (self-cleaning!), and for horizontal applications towards the direction where the most shavings are generated.
Fine particles and abrasive dust:
Telescopic springs work best in an environment where oil is used. Telescopic springs are highly sensitive to fine particles and abrasive dust, and are not suitable for such applications. For such environments, bellows are a better choice.
