Carbon Composite Springs

Carbon composite springs advantages

The common structural forms of it include cylindrical helical, disc-shaped and special-shaped, etc. And its advantages in multiple dimensions far exceed those of traditional metal springs.

Remarkable lightweight advantage

Its weight is only 1/4 – 1/5 of the steel spring with the same performance, significantly reducing the overall load of the equipment. So it is specially suitable for fields with strong demand for weight reduction such as aerospace and new energy vehicles.

Longer fatigue life

Under long-term alternating stress, it is less likely to have the fatigue fracture problem of metal springs. Thus the service life can be increased by 2-3 times.

Excellent corrosion resistance

Without additional rust prevention treatment, it can work stably in harsh environments such as damp and salt spray.

Flexible elastic modulus

By adjusting the laying angle of carbon fiber, it can precisely match the stiffness requirements of different equipment.

Good vibration damping performance

It can effectively absorb vibration energy, reduce the noise and vibration interference during equipment operation, then improve operational stability.

In addition, according to your specific requirements, they will be processed to meet your size and elasticity specifications. You can also choose coiled carbon composite springs, molded carbon composite springs, laminated carbon composite springs or other types of carbon composite springs.

Uses of carbon composite springs

Transportation sector

In new energy vehicles

It can replace traditional steel springs, which can reduce the vehicle weight by 5% to 8%, indirectly improving the range. And at the same time reducing the vibration of the suspension system and enhancing the driving comfort.

In rail transit vehicles

Its bogie uses this spring, because it can reduce wheel-rail impact and lower the maintenance frequency.

In the aerospace field

You can use it in the landing gear and shock absorption structure of unmanned aircraft. It can ensure the bearing capacity while significantly reducing the aircraft weight and extending the flight duration.

In the attitude control system of satellites

Its high stability and low creep characteristics can ensure that the satellite precisely adjusts its attitude in the complex space environment.

In the high-end equipment field

You can use it in the main shaft shock absorption components of precision machine tools. It can absorb the vibration generated during high-speed operation, improving the processing accuracy.

And in the shock absorption system of the nacelle of wind power equipment, it can withstand the harsh outdoor environment. Thus it can reduce equipment fatigue damage, and extend the overall equipment service life.

In medical equipment

You can use it as nuclear magnetic resonance instruments, because the moving parts have the non-magnetic characteristic. This is different from metal springs, which does not interfere with the magnetic field, ensuring the equipment detection accuracy.
