Composite Spring

What is a composite spring?

Composite Spring

Vibrating screen composite spring is composed of a metal coil spring and high-quality vulcanized rubber wrapped around it. It integrates the advantages of metal springs and rubber springs, and overcomes the shortcomings of metal springs such as high rigidity, high working noise, small load-bearing capacity of rubber springs, and poor stability of shape and mechanical properties. It has the advantages of higher load capacity and large deformation, better shock and noise reduction effect, stable operation, and short resonance interval.

Composite spring material

Composite springs can be made from various materials, but the most common type of composite material used is fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. These composites consist of a polymer matrix reinforced with high-strength fibers, such as carbon fiber or glass fiber. The choice of composite material depends on the specific requirements of the application, including desired strength, stiffness, and environmental conditions.

Benefits of composite spring

Composite springs offer several advantages over traditional steel springs:

Weight reduction: Composite materials, such as fiberglass or carbon fiber-reinforced polymers, are lightweight and have a high strength-to-weight ratio. Using composite springs can significantly reduce the overall weight of the system, leading to improved fuel efficiency (in automotive applications) and increased payload capacity (in aerospace applications).

Corrosion resistance: Unlike steel springs, composite springs are inherently resistant to corrosion. This makes them suitable for applications where exposure to moisture, chemicals, or harsh environments is a concern.

Fatigue resistance: Composite materials have excellent fatigue properties, allowing composite springs to withstand repeated loading cycles without experiencing significant degradation in performance or fatigue failure. This results in longer service life and reduced maintenance requirements.

Design flexibility: Composite springs can be designed and manufactured in various shapes, sizes, and configurations to meet specific application requirements. They can be tailored to provide desired stiffness, damping characteristics, and load-carrying capacity.

Vibration damping: Composite materials have inherent damping properties, which can help reduce vibrations and improve ride comfort in applications such as automotive suspension systems.

Application of composite springs

Vibrating screen composite springs are widely used in vibrating screen machinery to support and control the vibration motion of the vibrating screen. Suitable for large vibration equipment in mining, coal, metallurgy and other industries.

How to choose composite springs

When selecting composite springs for vibrating screens, you need to consider the following factors:

Load requirements: Determine the load range and working conditions required for the vibrating screen. This includes the size, direction and frequency of changes in the load. Make sure the composite spring you choose can handle the expected loads and maintain consistent performance.

Elastic properties: Consider the required elastic properties of the vibrating screen, such as stiffness and natural frequency. These characteristics will directly affect the vibration frequency and amplitude of the vibrating screen. Depending on the specific application needs, the appropriate composite spring is selected to provide the required elastic properties.

Material Selection: Select the appropriate composite material based on the requirements of the application. Common composite spring materials include carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) and aramid fiber reinforced polymer (AFRP). Each material has different performance characteristics such as strength, stiffness and durability. Select the appropriate material based on the application environment and requirements.

Lifespan and durability: Consider the lifespan and durability requirements of the vibrating screen. Composite springs should be able to withstand extended use and repeated load cycles without significant performance degradation. Make sure to choose a composite spring with good fatigue life and durability.

Cost and Manufacturing: Consider the cost and manufacturing feasibility of composite springs. The manufacture of composite springs often requires specialized processes and equipment. Make sure the composite spring you choose is cost and manufacturing feasible and will meet budget and production requirements.
