AI Technical Summary
In the early stages of operation, existing damping-stabilized bidirectional tensioners experience friction between disc springs and between disc springs and other components, leading to damping instability.
Wave springs are used instead of traditional disc springs. The spring plates in the middle of the wave spring are in surface contact, and the wave spring is also in surface contact with the flat pad and the top cover to avoid relative rotation and ensure damping stability.
The surface contact design prevents relative rotation between the wave spring plates and between the wave spring and the flat pad and the top cover, ensuring the stability of the damping.
