 Lesson 3. Representation of Springs
3.1 INTRODUCTION
▪ Springs are parts workings based on their elastic properties.
▪ Springs can save energy as formed and release a corresponding energy as returned to the original shape.
Therefore, springs are used for damping device, support, etc.
▪ Due to structure and function, there are 4 types of springs.

Helical springs Coil springs Disk springs Leaf springs

3.2.1 Helical springs
▪ If the number of helix is larger than 4, only 1 or 2 helixes is indicated at each side of springs.
▪ Springs which diameter or wire thickness is not larger than 2mm are indicated as thick continuous
lines and the section region is solid highlighted.

3.2.2 Coil springs

▪ Coil springs which number of helix is larger than 2 are indicated by the first and the end helixes.
The last part is just indicated by a thick center line.

3.2.3 Disk springs

▪ If the number of disk is larger than 4, disk springs are indicated by 1 or 2 disks at each side, the last
disks are just indicated by a thin center line.
