The following will focus on our company's Trigger Spring products and explore how to achieve stable pressure and tension performance in practical applications, and what factors affect these performances.

Trigger springs are a key component that is widely used in a variety of mechanical equipment and electronic devices, especially in trigger control products such as power tools, manual switches, consumer electronic devices, etc. The function of the trigger spring is to convert the externally applied force into a certain trigger operation or control instruction, so the stability of its pressure and tension performance directly affects the working efficiency and accuracy of the equipment. The pressure and tension performance of the trigger spring, especially its stability, is affected by many factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, material selection, design parameters, manufacturing process, and surface treatment. Next, we will discuss in detail the impact of each factor on the performance of the trigger spring.

1. Material selection
Material is the primary factor that determines the performance of the trigger spring. Trigger springs are usually made of high-carbon steel, stainless steel, phosphor bronze, and other materials. Each material has its own unique mechanical properties, such as elastic modulus, yield strength, fatigue resistance, and so on.
Elastic modulus: The elastic modulus determines the ability of the material to deform under the action of external force. A higher elastic modulus means that the spring can provide a larger rebound force within a smaller deformation range, thereby ensuring that the trigger spring can quickly return to its initial state during operation.
Yield strength: Yield strength determines the ability of the material to produce permanent deformation under the action of external force. Materials with high yield strength can withstand large tensile and compressive forces without permanent deformation, which is crucial for frequently used trigger springs.
Fatigue resistance: Trigger springs are often in a working state of repeated loading and unloading, so fatigue resistance is an important factor affecting their life. High-strength materials usually have better fatigue resistance, which can ensure that the spring maintains stable pressure and tension performance after long-term work.
Through in-depth research and application of different materials, we can provide customers with the most suitable material selection to ensure the stability and durability of the trigger spring in different working environments.

2. Design parameters
Design parameters have a crucial impact on the pressure and tension performance of the trigger spring. When designing the trigger spring, we will carry out refined design according to the specific needs of the customer to ensure that the spring can maintain stable performance during operation. Key design parameters include wire diameter, number of turns, free length and helix angle.
Wire diameter: The wire diameter is an important factor in determining the stiffness of the spring. A thicker wire diameter usually means higher stiffness and can provide greater rebound force. A thinner wire diameter can make the spring more flexible and adapt to smaller external forces.
Number of turns: The number of turns affects the total length of the spring and the deformation ability of the spring. Springs with more turns are usually softer and can provide more uniform tension and pressure distribution, which is suitable for long-stroke application scenarios. Springs with fewer turns can return to their initial state more quickly, which is suitable for short-stroke and high-frequency applications.
Free length: The free length determines the state of the spring when it is not under force. Appropriate free length design can ensure the stability and accuracy of the trigger spring during use and avoid damage caused by excessive compression or stretching.
Helix angle: The helix angle affects the overall structural strength and force distribution of the spring. A smaller helix angle can provide greater compression, while a larger helix angle is more suitable for the design of tension springs.
In actual applications, Ningbo Chaoying Spring Industry & Trade Co., Ltd. will adjust and optimize these design parameters according to the specific needs of customers and the use scenarios of the equipment to ensure that the pressure and tension performance of the trigger spring meet the expected requirements.

3. Manufacturing process
The manufacturing process of the trigger spring directly affects its final quality and performance. We use advanced CNC spring forming equipment to accurately control each production link to ensure that every parameter of the spring meets the design requirements. At the same time, Ningbo Chaoying Spring Industry & Trade Co., Ltd. uses a series of strict quality control processes, including mechanical testing, fatigue testing, etc., to ensure that each product has excellent stability and reliability.
Heat treatment process: Heat treatment is one of the key processes in spring manufacturing, which can significantly improve the strength and toughness of the material. By controlling the heating temperature and cooling speed, we can effectively improve the elasticity and durability of the spring, making it less likely to deform during long-term use.
Precision molding process: The molding accuracy of the spring directly determines its working performance. Ningbo Chaoying Spring Industry & Trade Co., Ltd.'s CNC equipment can accurately control the spring molding process to ensure that the wire diameter, number of turns and free length of each spring meet the design requirements.
Surface treatment process: Trigger springs are often in harsh working environments and may be affected by external factors such as wear and corrosion. Therefore, we use surface galvanizing, oxidation treatment and other methods to improve the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the spring and extend its service life.

4. Working environment
The working environment of the trigger spring also has an important impact on its pressure and tension performance. In extreme temperature, humid or corrosive environments, the material properties and surface treatment of the spring may be affected. Ningbo Chaoying Spring Industry & Trade Co., Ltd. will recommend suitable materials and surface treatment solutions to customers based on different working environments to ensure that the trigger spring can maintain stable working performance in any environment.
