1. Shock Absorption and Cushioning
- Principle: Agricultural machinery springs absorb and disperse vibrations and impacts in the transmission system, reducing the direct impact of these forces on transmission components.
- Function: Reduces wear on drive shafts, gears, and other components, improving the stability and reliability of the transmission system.
2. Automatic Tension Adjustment
- Principle: In transmission systems such as belt or chain drives, spring tensioners automatically adjust the tension.
- Function: When the drive belt loosens due to wear or other reasons, the spring automatically moves down, tightening the belt with its own elasticity, thus reducing slippage and wear caused by insufficient tension.
3. Overload Protection
- Principle: Some agricultural machinery transmission systems are equipped with torque overload protectors, which include spring assemblies.
- Function: When the drive shaft is subjected to excessive torque input, the spring assembly triggers the protection mechanism, causing the transmission system to slip and preventing drive shaft breakage due to overload.
