German RITAG springs, RITAG models, RITAG prices

RITAG springs consist of tension springs and connecting springs. The pitch and winding direction of the tension springs and connecting springs are identical. A special fixture is used to clamp one end of the tension spring and screw it into the connecting spring. The other end of the tension spring is then rotated and fitted onto the other end of the connecting spring. Rotational force is used to screw the connecting spring into the interior of the tension spring, forming the tension spring into a ring spring. This utility model ring spring does not affect the shape and elasticity of the connection point and provides a secure connection, making it suitable for various applications requiring ring springs. The ring spring is composed of alternating stacked washer-shaped spring steel discs with inner conical and outer cylindrical surfaces, and washer-shaped spring steel discs with inner cylindrical and outer conical surfaces. The number of pairs of inner and outer rings in the ring spring is determined by the magnitude of the load it bears and the deformation requirements. Ring springs are used in applications with limited space that require strong buffering.

RITAG spring features

1) High stiffness, strong buffering and vibration absorption capacity, capable of bearing large loads with small deformations, suitable for applications with limited axial space. 2) Features variable stiffness characteristics, offering a wide range of nonlinear properties. 3) Using the same disc springs in different combination methods allows the spring characteristics to vary significantly. Combination methods such as nested or stacked arrangements can be adopted, as well as combinations with different thicknesses and numbers of discs. 4) When stacked, for the same deformation, the greater the number of springs, the higher the load. 5) Short stroke, heavy load, small space requirement, convenient combination, easy maintenance and replacement, economical, high safety, and long service life.

RITAG spring composition

A ring spring is a compression spring composed of several inner and outer rings with conical surfaces. Under axial load P, significant normal pressure is generated between the contact surfaces of the inner and outer rings, causing the inner ring diameter to decrease and the outer ring diameter to increase. Due to this change in diameters, the spring shortens in length; when the external force is removed, since the cone angle b of the rings is greater than the friction angle, the spring restores its original dimensions under elastic internal forces. When the ring spring bears axial P, significant friction is generated between the conical contact surfaces of the inner and outer rings, consuming considerable energy, while the relationship between force and deformation remains linear. During loading, the external force P equals the sum of the spring's internal force and friction. ABO represents the unloading process, which includes two stages: the AB stage and the BO stage. The AB stage indicates the situation where the load decreases, and the spring's elastic internal force overcomes static friction, gradually restoring the spring to its original state. The inner and outer rings of the ring spring are made of high-quality carbon steel or wear-resistant alloy steel. Each ring is roll-formed to the required shape to enhance its load-bearing capacity, followed by heat treatment. Ring springs are powerful springs with significant buffering and vibration absorption capabilities (the ratio of area OABO to OACO can reach 60～70%), commonly used in buffering devices for heavy vehicles, artillery, and aircraft landing gear.

RITAG spring applications

To a large extent, disc springs are replacing cylindrical helical springs. They are commonly used in heavy machinery (such as presses) and weapons like artillery and aircraft as powerful buffering and vibration-damping springs, as clamping springs for automotive and tractor clutches and safety valves, and as energy storage elements in mechanical devices. Disadvantage: Load deviation is difficult to guarantee. Disc springs can be classified into three categories based on cross-sectional shape: standard disc springs (rectangular cross-section), disc springs with radial slots, and trapezoidal cross-section disc springs. Standard disc springs are divided into those with support surfaces and those without. Disc springs with radial slots are based on standard disc springs, with several uniformly distributed slots cut radially; these slots can extend from the inner hole to the outer circumference or from the outer circumference to the inner hole. Trapezoidal cross-section disc springs are divided into two types: those with inner edge thickness greater than outer edge thickness, and those with inner edge thickness less than outer edge thickness. Since the deformation and load values of a single disc spring often fail to meet usage requirements, they can be used in groups to form disc spring assemblies (columns). Typical combination methods include: nested disc spring assemblies, composite disc spring assemblies, and other disc spring combinations. Compared to cylindrical helical springs, disc springs have the following characteristics: 1) The load-deformation characteristic curve is nonlinear. 2) Disc springs are thin and easily formed into assemblies, allowing modular assembly and replacement, which facilitates maintenance. 3) Disc springs with radial slots exhibit zero-stiffness characteristics. This feature can be applied in situations where the spring force is required to remain basically stable within a certain deformation range. 4) The vibration absorption performance of disc springs is no less than that of cylindrical helical springs; when using nested combinations, the friction between disc spring plates provides significant damping, dissipating impact energy.
