VOLUTE SPRINGS

Volute springs (also known as spiral springs) are mechanical protection devices specifically designed for industrial environments exposed to chips, dust, and other contaminants. In addition to protecting moving components, they also serve as a safety barrier to prevent accidental contact between operators and moving parts such as lead screws, pistons, or other mechanical components. Primarily intended for B2B applications, our springs are available in a wide range of standard sizes and can also be custom-manufactured to meet the specific requirements of any automation system or machine tool.

What's a volute spring?

Telescopic volute springs, also referred to as spiral or conical spiral springs, consist of a helically wound metal strip whose coils collapse onto themselves when compressed. Thanks to their unique design, they provide effective protection against external contaminants and accidental impacts, ensuring safe and reliable machine operation.

Applications and benefits

Volute springs are essential for ensuring protection and reliability in demanding industrial environments. They are ideal for sectors such as robotics, automation, and machine tools, guaranteeing high performance and adaptability through an extensive range of standard dimensions and custom-engineered solutions.

Fields of application

  • Industrial robotics and automation: protection of screws, shafts, and linear guides from foreign objects and accidental contact.
  • Machine tools: widely used on lathes, milling machines, and machining centers to protect lead screws and other exposed mechanical components.

Key advantages

  • Effective protection against contaminants and foreign particles
  • Enhanced operator safety
  • Wide range of standard sizes and/or fully customized solutions
  • Easy installation
  • Suitable for protecting various mechanical components
