Compression Springs
Compression springs are the most common mold spring. They are helical and have a certain degree of compressive elasticity. In mold design, compression springs are primarily used to support parts perpendicular to the mold base. They are also often used to adjust mold clearance and maintain part position.
Tension Springs
In contrast to compression springs, tension springs are linear and have a certain degree of tensile elasticity. In mold design, tension springs are primarily used to connect parts at both ends, such as couplings and plywood.
Torsion Springs
Torsion springs are a type of mold spring with torsional elasticity. Made from round wire and helical, they primarily apply torque to the mold, ensuring proper rotation or pivoting of parts.
Composite Springs
Compound springs are mold springs composed of multiple compression or tension springs. Their advantage is that they can provide varying elastic properties in different directions, making them suitable for complex local support and part position maintenance in mold design.
Mold springs come in a wide variety of types. Choosing the right spring can help improve mold efficiency and service life. Selection should be based on a comprehensive consideration of the specific mold requirements and design needs.
