Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020200352A1] The invention relates to a method for installing a wrap spring (14), in which method: a first sleeve (12) is provided; a wrap spring (14) designed to frictionally abut a lateral surface (20) of the first sleeve (12) is applied, in the relaxed state, to the lateral surface (20) of the first sleeve (12) at an angle to a first longitudinal axis (18) of the first sleeve (12) extending in the axial direction; then the wrap spring (14) is elastically twisted while the wrap spring (14) contacts the lateral surface (20) of the first sleeve (12); a resulting angle (a) between the first longitudinal axis (18) and a central axis (16) of the wrap spring (14) is reduced; the wrap spring (14) is threaded onto the first sleeve (12); and subsequently the wrap spring (14) is relaxed in order to establish frictional contact with the lateral surface (20) of the first sleeve (12). This enables a simple, in particular automated, installation of a wrap spring (14).
