A prestressed
Spir’ator power spring is produced by reverse winding a Neg’ator on an arbor and enclosing it in a case.
Rotational energy can be obtained from either the arbor or case or, when linear motion is required, through use of a pulley and cable attachment.
The unique design of this encapsulated spring yields a compact power source which operates with higher working stress and can provide more than twice as many revolutions as a conventional
power spring in the same size case.
With torque and deflection being equal, a Spir’ator generally requires 20% less space than a
power spring. Most importantly, this power package creates a low torque gradient.
Special Features – Spir’ator Springs
- Higher prestressing generally permits use of thinner material thus smaller package size than comparable power springs.
- Low force gradient yields usable torque throughout operating range.
- Can provide more than twice the turns of a conventional power spring.
- Compact and lightweight source of rotary or linear deflection.
