Spring machines play a vital role in the aerospace industry, as aerospace equipment has high requirements for the precision, reliability, and performance of parts. The following are some of the applications of spring machines in aerospace:
1. Landing gear: Springs are used in the landing gear of aircraft to absorb the impact of landing and reduce the stress on the aircraft structure.
2. Shock reduction system: The shock reduction system in aerospace uses springs to reduce the impact of vibration and shock during flight on sensitive equipment.
3. Control surfaces: The control surfaces of the aircraft (such as ailerons, elevators, and rudders) use springs to provide the necessary force feedback and control torque.
4. Engine suspension: The springs in the engine suspension system are used to support the weight of the engine and absorb the vibration generated when the engine is running.
5. Valves and switches: In the hydraulic and pneumatic systems of spacecraft, springs are used to control the opening and closing of valves and switches.
6. Sensors: Springs are used in various sensors to provide force transmission or maintain the stable position of sensor components.
7. Antenna system: Springs are used in the antenna system of spacecraft to support the antenna to ensure the reception and transmission of signals.
8. Fasteners: In fasteners, spring washers are used to prevent bolts from loosening and ensure the stability of the structure.
9. Seats and seat belts: Springs are used in the seats and seat belt systems of pilots and passengers to provide comfort and safety.
10. Emergency release system: In an emergency, springs are used to quickly release equipment or components, such as the activation of ejection seats.
11. Load distribution: In the load distribution system of spacecraft, springs are used to balance and distribute loads to ensure the stability of the structure.
12. Test equipment: In aerospace test equipment, springs are used to simulate flight conditions such as load, vibration, etc.
Due to the particularity of the aerospace field, the springs produced by the spring machine need to meet the performance requirements in environments, such as high temperature, low temperature, vacuum, high vibration, etc., so there are extremely high standards for the design and manufacturing process of the springs.
