Wikipedia

  1. Volute spring

    A volute spring, also known as a conical spring, is a compression spring in the form of a cone (somewhat like the classical volute decorative architectural ornament). Under compression, the coils slide past each other, thus enabling the spring to be compressed to a very short length in comparison with what would be possible with a more conventional helical spring.

  1. volute spring

    A volute spring is a type of compression spring in the shape of a cone, so that under compression the coils are not forced against each other, allowing longer travel. These springs are also known as conical springs. They're used in applications where the spring needs to be compressed to a very small size or where the spring will be subject to shocks.

  1. Volute spring

    A Volute spring is a compression spring in the form of a cone. Under compression, the coils slide past each other, thus enabling the spring to be compressed to a very short length in comparison to what would be possible with a more conventional helix spring. The shape of the initial spring steel is a "V", with the ends of the V at either end of the wound spring, and the bottom point of the V at the centre. Such springs can frequently be found as a component of garden secateurs. Short posts anchored in each side of the handles, and inserted into each narrow end of the spring, retains the spring in position.
