Sentreringsfjærer

Sentreringsfjærer, often translated as centering springs or locating springs, are mechanical components used to precisely position and secure other parts within an assembly. Their primary function is to apply a controlled force that guides components into a specific alignment or to maintain them in that position.

These springs are typically made from spring steel or other resilient materials. The design can vary significantly, ranging from simple coiled springs to more complex shapes like wave springs or tang springs. The force they exert is usually radial, pushing a component towards the center of a bore or shaft, or axial, pushing it against a mating surface.

Sentreringsfjærer find application in a wide array of industries and products. In automotive manufacturing, they are used in bearing assemblies, gear mechanisms, and suspension systems to ensure proper alignment and reduce vibration. In electronics, they can be found in connectors and switches to maintain contact and alignment. They are also utilized in precision tooling, optical equipment, and various consumer goods where accurate positioning is critical.

The advantage of using sentreringsfjærer lies in their ability to provide consistent and reliable centering force without requiring complex machining or expensive components. They are often a cost-effective solution for achieving precise alignment and can accommodate minor variations in manufacturing tolerances. Their compact nature also makes them suitable for space-constrained applications.
