DETENT SPRING, 800 SERIES

$0.88

Categories: ,
Description
  1. Function: The detent spring serves the primary function of providing tension and control within mechanical assemblies, specifically in the 800 Series. It is responsible for exerting a precise amount of force to maintain the position of a detent mechanism, such as a ball or plunger, within its housing.
  2. Design: The detent spring is typically a coil spring made from durable materials such as steel or stainless steel. It is designed to have a specific spring rate and compression strength to exert the necessary force on the detent mechanism. The dimensions and configuration of the spring are tailored to fit the requirements of the specific assembly within the 800 Series.
  3. Installation: The detent spring is installed within the housing of the mechanical assembly, typically in conjunction with a detent ball or plunger. It is positioned to apply tension to the detent mechanism, ensuring that it engages with the corresponding features on other components to maintain desired positions or settings.
  4. Applications: Detent springs are commonly used in various mechanical assemblies, including gearboxes, shifters, levers, and control mechanisms, across a wide range of industries. In the 800 Series equipment, they play a crucial role in ensuring precise control and functionality of mechanical systems.
  5. Maintenance: Detent springs generally require minimal maintenance once installed. However, periodic inspection may be necessary to ensure that they remain free from damage or deformation. Any worn or damaged detent springs should be replaced promptly to maintain optimal performance of the mechanical assembly.
