Custom Clock Springs

Clock springs, otherwise referred to as power springs, are a form of spring commonly found in watches but have a range of purposes in several different industries. Clock springs are created from flat metal strips instead of wire torsion springs. This allows them to generate torsional force through circular movements, where the spring coils around itself with applied force, resulting in more torsional force while attempting to uncoil. Clock springs and power springs are similar, but a key difference is that in power springs, the coils are wound tighter, and they require greater lubrication due to the rotating spirals that are in contact with one another.

Advantages of Custom Clock Springs

Due to their open coils with equidistant spacing with correct mounting, clock springs have zero friction. As a result, they don’t need lubrication like power springs, making their implementation seamless and straightforward. This does diminish torque capacity, but with custom solutions, custom clock springs can be mounted parallel within an application for greater torsional force if this is something you require. We can make your custom clock springs in a range of different spring materials to meet your exact application, including stainless steel, for increased resistance against wear and tear.

Applications of Custom Clock Springs

As the name might suggest, custom clock springs are most commonly found in watches and clocks, but can also be used in mechanical timers, lanyards, and wind-up toys. Moreover, custom clock springs can be employed in steering mechanisms, allowing for wheel rotation while sustaining connection to various electrical systems. They are popular in devices that require a smooth retraction system, so if you have an application that uses this function, then consider our custom clock spring solutions.
