jousimekanismi
The jousimekanismi, or spring mechanism in Finnish, refers to a mechanical system that utilizes elastic springs to store and release energy. Springs are versatile components used in various applications, from simple tools to complex machinery, due to their ability to exert force when deformed and return to their original shape when the force is removed. The primary function of a spring mechanism is to convert linear motion into rotational motion, store mechanical energy, or provide resistance and tension in a controlled manner.
Springs are typically made from materials like steel, which offers a good balance of elasticity and durability.
In mechanical engineering, the jousimekanismi plays a crucial role in devices such as clocks, watches, and firearms.
Efficiency and longevity of a spring mechanism depend on factors such as material quality, design, and operating
