Parabolic Springs
Parabolic Springs are characterized by their unique tapering design.
Each leaf is a single piece, tapered or thinned out towards the ends. The tapering follows a parabolic curve, which means that the spring is thicker in the center and gradually thinner towards the edges.
Their design reduces internal friction and enhances suspension performance.
Advantages are in terms of
- Weight Reduction
- Load Distribution
- Better Fatigue Life
- High Value to Weight Ratio
A Leaf-Spring Parabolic Rolling Machine is a specialized type of equipment with a Furnace attached with a conveyor designed to manufacture Parabolic Leaf Springs.
- Construction*:
Heavy-Duty Frame: Built to handle the stresses involved in bending thick spring steel.
Adjustable Rollers: The machine typically has a set of rollers that can be adjusted to create the tapering and parabolic profile required for the spring.
- Operation:
Heating and Bending*: The spring steel is often heated to make it pliable before it’s fed through the rollers. The heat helps in achieving the desired curvature without cracking or damaging the material.
Controlled Tapering: The rollers are adjusted to create a precise taper along the length of the leaf spring, achieving the characteristic parabolic profile.
- Control Systems:
Automated Controls: Most machines use automated control systems that allow precise control over the bending process, ensuring consistency and accuracy in each product.
