Constant Torque Spring Gear Ratio Selection
The gear ratio changes output torque and available rotation, while losses and backlash alter the practical result.
Constant Torque Spring with a Rotary Damper
A damper primarily influences motion speed; it does not replace the static torque balance. Select the spring and damper for different requirements.
Constant Torque Spring and Friction Hinge Responsibilities
Use the spring for counterbalancing and the hinge for the specified holding resistance. Treat their force contributions separately.
Constant Torque Springs and Variable Gravity Moments
Only if the required balancing torque is sufficiently constant or the mechanism compensates for its variation. A changing gravity moment requires a separate.
Constant Torque Spring Torque at the Output Shaft
Measure at the actual output shaft over the defined working rotation. Do not infer assembly torque solely from strip dimensions.
Constant Torque Spring Transfer Direction Between Drums
Show the storage drum, output drum and intended transfer direction in the assembly drawing. Naming only clockwise rotation can be ambiguous.
