Constant Force Spring Manufacturer – OEM & ODM Custom Solutions
What is a Constant Force Spring?
A constant force spring is a special type of spring that provides nearly constant tension and retraction force throughout its entire deflection range.
Unlike traditional springs, constant force springs are wound in a spiral shape. When extended, they generate a consistent uncoiling force — making them ideal for applications that require smooth retracting, counterbalancing, tensioning, and constant load maintenance.
✅ Key characteristic: The force remains stable regardless of how far the spring is extended.
Constant Force Spring Features
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Constant tension throughout travel | Smooth and predictable performance |
| Compact spiral design | Saves installation space |
| Long service life | Reliable for high-cycle applications |
| Available in multiple materials | Stainless steel 301, carbon steel, etc. |
| Customizable dimensions | Force, length, width, and thickness |
These features make constant force springs widely used in applications requiring smooth retracting, counterbalancing, and constant tensioning.
