Constant Force
Spring Design GuideWULCAN
The Company to Rely on...
Vulcan Spring & Mfg. Co., founded in 1967. is
dedicated, not only to manufacturing the finest possible
custom made parts, but to making sure that each
customer's specific desires are fully realized in the final
product.
To implement this policy, we at Vulcan offer to our
customers the services of a fully integrated, financially
sound manufacturing organization, specializing in the
design and production of constant force springs and
related products. The pullbox, conpower reel.
stampings, printed steel springs, spring assemblies and
printed plastic scrolls are all manufactured in our
Telford, Pennsylvania, factory.
Vulcan is equipped with a complete tool and die
department capable of making all the dies, fixtures and
machines required by our production departments. We
also produce prototypes for customers’ products and
have the ability to provide assemblies and obtain
extrusions and molded parts. Our theory is that, since
many of our customers may have engineering
departments that have never worked with constant
force springs, itis only logical that if we can provide
them with a workable starting point for their product.
their entire design project will be much easier for them
to complete.
Constant Force Springs
Since the introduction of constant force springs to
industry, design engineers have been using these
Components to solve problems requiring a constant
force or torque. Every constant force spring is
produced to provide a specitic force which is exerted
through the entire extension of the spring. The force is
constant as long as the radius remains constant. In
longer springs, this change in radius, due to diameter
build-up, causes the spring to increase in force slightly
ast is extended, Constant force springs deliver more
force per pound of material than gravity devices.
Variable Force Springs
In some applications, itis desirable for the spring to
have fess force as it is extended, while in others tis
preferable to have more force. A spring that produces,
less force while being extended is said to have a
negative gradient. Negative gradients of as much as
25% are possible. A spring that produces more force as
itis extended has a positive gradient. Positive gradients
of 600% are possible. Our computer controlled
machines allow us to manufacture springs with the
variable forces required to meet the needs of your
application
Materials
Several materials are used to make constant force
springs. These include stainless steel, high carbon
steel, Inconel, plastic and others as they are required.
CONFORCE, CONTORQUE, PULLBOX ane ~
Type 301 Stainless Stee! has proven to be superior for
consistent quality, life, availability, stress retention and
lowest praduct cost
Testing and Inspection
Inspection procedures are critical. It is important that
the customer and Vulcan agree on both the method and
equipment to be used in testing the force of these
springs. Our test fixtures are designed to accurately
‘measure the force of the spring.
Our SPC program monitors critical characteristics
during production to insure consistent quality of our
products. All of our testing instruments are periodically
calibrated, using weights and gage blocks traceable to
the National Bureau of Standards.
Note: 1. Type 301 Stainless Steel, in its hardened
condition, is magnetic.
2, Passivation is not required or recommended.
Normal Force Test Procedure
A The force is usually measured at 1/2 the full
extension length.
© The spring is cycled across the test length at least,
three times.
G The spring is then extended to the test length and
locked to provide a nominal force reading that is,
neither extending nor retracting
Normal tolerances are + 10% in both force and
diameter,

The following parameters affect the design: life, torce,
space available, environment, length and operating
temperature. Other factors which may be uniquo to a
particular application should be revealed to your Vulcan
engineer so they can all be considered in the final
design. In the following pages, Vulcan has pre-
engineered many designs into tabular form ta simplity
the task of the design engineer. Those tables should be
used only as a guide. THEY ARE NOT A LISTING OF

A Vulcan engineer should be consulted early in any
spring design. As a spring spocialist he can guide you
into standard sizes of steel, and he can indicate our
Unique manutacturing capabilities that ultimately result
in a botter spring design at the lowest cost. Due to
variables in the raw materials, a tolerance of £ 104% in

Twin Spring
Assembly
Variable Force Spring
1, Select the Material — Most of Vulcan's work is done.
In Type 301 stainless steol to produce the best part at
the lowest cost. High-carbon steel, Inconel and other
materials are suggested when they are required,
2. Estimate the Life — This is important, since the lite of
the constant force spring is very predictable. A lite
cycle is an extension and retraction of either the
whole spring or any portion of it. A low estimate of
the life will lead to early failure. A high estimate (the
‘more common error) makes the spring larger and
more expensive than is necessary
3. Establish the Force — The force of the spring should
be equal to the requirement of the application. The
normal tolerance for a constant force spring is + 10%,
4. Determine the Space — For any force value there are
several malerial thickness and width combinations
that can be used. The natural coil diameter is
dependent upon the thickness, life, and force
required. A constant force spring does not extend
tangent to the coiled body of the spring. To allow the
spring to operate properly, a minimum distance of 8
XD. is required, (See diagram.)
5. Calculate the Total Length — Allow for at least 1-1/2,
turns to remain when the spring is fully extended
6, Select the End Detail — Vulcan has many standard
dies. The drawings on Pages 4 and § show some that
are available. Special end designs may be obtained
for a nominal charge.
7. Consider the Environment — Corrasive atmospheres
or extreme temperatures will affect spring life and
material selection.
8. Specity the Desired Vulcan Spring:
a, Indicated the letter from the selected life table
b. Specify the thickness of the spring in mils
cc. Indicate the width of the spring (use letter code)
4. Specify the length of the spring in inches
Example: Conforce Spring #J12G21 specifies Type 301
stainiass steel, 8,000 cycles, 012" thick, 172
wide, 21° long, producing a force of 3.42 pounds,

Printed Springs
Spring with LaminateA constant torque spring is made up of a specially
stressed constant force spring traveling between two
spools. The spring is stored on a storage spool and
‘wound reverse to its natural curvature on an output
spool. When released, torque is obtained from the
‘output spool as the spring returns to its natural
‘ourvature on the storage spool. No useful torque may
be oblained from the storage spool
‘The torque produced by a constant torque spring can
be constant over the entire retraction of the spring. The
springs may also be designed to produce a negative or
a positive gradient. These unique features make this,
spring-form desirable for many applications, including
counterbalances, clack motors, self-energizing position
indicators, cord or cable retractors, and mechanical
drives.

‘The following parameters determine the design
material, width, thickness, length. spool diameters, and
the natural diameter of the spring. Vulcan has pre-
engineered much of the above in tabular form to
simplity the task of the design engineer. THESE
‘TABLES SHOULD BE USED ONLY AS A GUIDE
A Vulcan engineer should be consulted early in any
constant torque design. As a spring specialist, he can
guide you into standard sizes of steel, and can indicate
ur unique manufacturing capabilities that ultimately
result in a better spring design at the lowest cost.
5. Select the End Detail — Mou
Select the Material — Most of Vulcan's contorque
springs are made from Type 301 stainless steel, since
it does the best job at the lowest cost. High carbon
steel, and other materials are suggested when they
are required.
Estimate the Life — This is important, since the life of
a constant tarque spring is very predictable. A low
estimate will lead to early failure. A high estimate
(the more common error) makes the spring larger
land more expensive than is necessary. In calculating
life, it should be noted that a cycle is a complete
transfer for any part of the spring material, from the
‘curvature of the storage spool to the curvature of the
‘ouiput spool and back,
Establish the Torque — The output of the spring
should be the torque required to drive the
mechanism, plus a governor, in the application. The
normal torque tolerance for a constant torque spring
is = 10%.
Determine the Space — For many torque values
there is a material thickness and a width combination
in our design guide table. The natural coil diameter
(.D}) is dependent on the thickness, life and torque
required of the spring, and varies + 10%. The tables
are only a guide. Please check with our engineers for
values other than the listed data
3. Calculate the Total Length — Allow at least 1 1/2
turns to remain on the storage spool when the spring
is fully wound, and 1 1/2 turns to remain on the
‘output spool when the spring is unwound,
The formula for determining length (L) is as
follows: L=xN(Do+Nt) + 1000
The above formula takes into account: diameter
buildup, number of revolutions (N), thickness of
‘material (t) and output spool diameter (Do).
ng methods vary
greatly with each application. Vulcan has many
standard dies. Drawings on pages 10 and 11 show
some that are available. Special end designs may be
obtained for a nominal charge
/ Calculate the Minimum Spool Spacing — The
Gistance between spool centers (dimension “S")
‘must be greater than the radius of the spring when
fully wound on the storage spool, plus the radius of
the spring when fully wound on the output spo!
Note: The following guides are a nominal design.
The output spool may be altered to
accommodate specific requirements, A Vulcan
‘engineer should be consulted if alterations
are required
‘Specify the Desired Vulcan Spring:
a, Indicate the letter from the selected life table
b. Specify the spring thickness in mils
¢. Indicate the spring width (Use column letter code)
4. Specify the desired length in inches
Example: Contorque Spring #V5D46 specilies Type
301 stainless steel, 4,000 cycle, 005" thick,
1/4" wide, and 46" long. producing a torque
of ,62 inch-pounds for 12 output turns, when
mounted on a 58" diamater storage spool
and a 1.01" diameter output spool.Géntorque Design Diagram
