Constant Force Spring

Control your power

Our know-how makes us the best partner to provide the perfect constant force spring for your project

At RPK Group we team up with product engineers to develop custom solutions to meet your requirements. We design specific constant force spring for every necessity, considering the load conditions, materials, life cycle and mounting methods (drum, couplings, ends, etc.) It is ideal when smooth return and recovery are required, including counterbalance, tension, and load applications.

They are generally prestressed springs that are wound tightly around a drum or shaft at the center and the hole at the free end is attached to a load-bearing force as a counterweight. As the spool unwinds, it exerts a nearly constant force because the geometry of the spool remains nearly constant throughout the drum. The full rated load of the spring is reached after being stretched to an extended length of 1.25 times its diameter. There is no friction between the turns (smooth action).

The load is determined by the width and thickness of the material and the diameter of the coil. These springs can be extended partly or completely with no limit to speed or acceleration.
