Springs are quite commonly used in automobiles, railway wagons, valves, watches ete 4.1.2. FUNCTIONS OF SPRINGS ‘| Springs are usually required to perfor the following functions: (To cushion or reduce the effect of shock or impact loading, Example: automobile springs, aircraft landing gears, railway buffers and shock absorbers i) To measute forces in spring balance, meters and engine indicators. (Gi) To store energy like in clocks, toys, cireit breakers and starters. (Gy) To apply forces and to control motions as in brakes and cluches (¥) To control motion by maintaining contact between two elements as in cam end followers 4.1.3, CLASSIFICATION OF SPRINGS ‘The most common types of springs are 9 follows: ) Helical springs: Helical springs are made of citcular wire coiled into a helical form, the load being applied slong the axis of the helix In these springs, the major stess is shear stress duc to twisting, The helical springs are classified into (@) Close-coiled or tension helical spring. (5) Open-coiled or compression helical spring, ‘The springs which are sustaining tensile force along their axes, ae called Helical tension or
