When designing helical or compression springs, you’ll confront several challenges and trade-offs, especially when it comes to getting the best possible performance from the wire. You will want to use ...

Most textbooks and guides do not clearly distinguish between types of helical compression springs when giving equations for solid height of the spring. Fortunately, exact values of solid height ...

Hanson Springs is a spring manufacturer that manufactures an unrivalled range of compression springs, tension springs and torsion springs used extensively throughout the railway industry. Springs are ...

Helical coil springs are a mainstay in today’s automotive suspensions, with a basic design essentially unchanged since their advent. MW Industries (Rosemont, IL, US) is the largest US spring ...

When the new compactor is used for this design, the efficiency in X-state masking gets very close to the ideal compression ratio. In fact, for this case, the compression actually exceeded the ideal ...

We asked Smalley marketing engineer Justyna Rapacz to fill us in on the design of wave springs and their utility to engineers designing products. We turned to Smalley as the inventor of the edge wound ...
