\"Leaf<\/a>Under the umbrella term Leaf springs<\/a> become different Types of feathers<\/a> summarized, which can be used in countless applications. They range from simple spiral springs<\/a> and flat springs<\/a> to complex form springs<\/a> and parabolic springs<\/a> that adapt precisely to the geometry of the surrounding components. Basically, a leaf spring can be defined as a mechanical spring that consists of Spring band steel<\/a> or Spring steel sheet<\/a> and the effect of which arises from the opposing spring force during elastic deformation. By absorbing or transmitting forces under relatively large deformation<\/a>, leaf springs<\/a> can store mechanical work as potential energy<\/a> and release it again at a freely selectable point in time. Thanks to this property, leaf springs can be used for energy, force and travel compensation.<\/p>\n

Leaf springs are often used in the form of flat springs, shaped springs or spiral springs to provide forces for pushing, pulling, holding or clamping. But they can also be used as Contact springs<\/a> Use for electrical bridging, for example with a flashlight. The term \u201cleaf spring\u201d is often used for the axle suspension of trucks, vintage cars and horse-drawn carriages. These special leaf springs are Elliptical springs<\/a> , Parabolic springs<\/a> and Trapezoidal springs<\/a> . As different as the individual leaf springs are – they all have one thing in common: They are usually designed for the existing installation situation and the desired function tailor-made<\/a> . That is why there is only a small standard program in the range of leaf springs.<\/p>\n
