The NEG'ATOR constant torque spring motor is a prestressed strip of spring material which is formed into a coil and is stored on a small storage drum.
The free end is then fastened and backwound onto a larger output drum; this is the "winding" portion of the constant torque spring's cycle.
When the output drum is released, the spring will return to the storage drum to assume its natural curvature thus rotating the output drum and providing virtually constant torque.
Hunter Spring constant torque springs are made of type 301 high-yield stainless steel and are supplied in coils for mounting on motor drums.
- Long deflections at nearly constant torque. Positive or limited negative gradients can be achieved
- Minimal intercoil friction and resultant hysteresis as is common in power springs
- Provides rotary motion directly from output drum or linear displacement through the use of cable and spool
