在螺旋压缩弹簧的设计中,当载荷很大,且安装空间有限时,或要求用较低强度的材料代替高强度材料时,常用两根(或三根)直径不同的弹簧套在一起,使其轴线重合(同心)而组成一弹簧族,这就是组合弹簧,如图1所示。为了避免内外两层弹簧之间相互卡住,往往将两者的螺旋线制成相反的旋向,例如外弹簧为右旋时,内弹簧用左旋。组合弹簧与单根弹簧相比,具有结构紧凑、材料节省及由于金属丝直径减小而制造方便等优点。 In the design of spiral compression springs, when the load is large and the installation space is limited, or when it is required to replace the high-strength materials with lower strength materials, two (or three) different diameter springs are commonly used to make them Axis coincide (concentric) and form a spring family, which is a combination of springs, as shown in Figure 1. In order to avoid the inner and outer two layers of springs stuck to each other, the spirals of the two are often made in the opposite direction of rotation, for example, when the outer spring is right-handed, the inner-spring is used for left-handed rotation. Compared with a single spring, the combination spring has the advantages of compact structure, material saving and convenience of manufacture due to the reduction of the wire diameter.
