The historical background and development of spring hangers can be traced back to ancient times, and their design and application have undergone multiple stages of development and improvement.
Historical background
The origin of spring hangers can be traced back to ancient times, and similar applications have already existed in ancient Egypt and Rome. The ancient Egyptians used non-helical spring devices to reduce the vibration of chariots, and leaf springs were also used on Roman two-wheeled vehicles. Although simple, these early applications laid the foundation for later spring technology.
Development history Early application: In the 18th century, French nobles designed modern leaf springs for carriages. This spring was fixed under the carriage to better bear the weight, marking the birth of modern leaf springs.
Industrial Revolution period: At the end of the 18th century, the development of steel coil springs played an important role in the industrial revolution, especially in the mid-19th century, when coil springs began to be widely used in various equipment and machines.
Modern application: With the development of industry, spring hangers have been widely used in many industries such as electricity, metallurgy, coal chemical industry, petroleum, textiles, and construction. Especially in the steam-water pipelines of thermal power plants and the boiler bodies of power stations, constant force spring supports and hangers have a history of standardized production for decades.
Modern applications
Modern spring supports and hangers play an important role in the power, chemical and other industries. They can ensure the normal operation and safety of pipelines and equipment by absorbing and buffering the expansion displacement and amplitude caused by thermal displacement. Constant force spring supports and hangers can provide constant suspension force or support force when thermal displacement occurs in pipelines and equipment, avoid load transfer and additional stress, and ensure the stable operation of equipment.
