Imagine you have been tasked to design a spring system for a pressure relief valve. One of the requirements is that it has to maintain linear behavior through 80% of its compression range to allow ...

When people think of equipment for training grip strength, many likely think of the torsion spring hand gripper.However, besides the torsion spring hand gripper, there are also extension spring and ...

Compression springs are used in many applications having linear compressive forces and needing mechanical energy storage, such as pneumatic cylinders and push-button controls. The most conventional ...

MATERIALS: Lee Spring® introduces LeeP TM Plastic Composite Springs, a revolutionary breakthrough in spring technology. LeeP is Lee Spring’s answer to increased customer requests for springs that ...

First, we have to answer the question, ‘What is a compression spring?’ Understanding what this invaluable component is, how it works, and what it’s used for will help you decide if you need ...

The dimensions, along with the load and deflection requirements, determine the stresses in the spring. When a compression spring is loaded, the coiled wire is stressed in torsion. The stress is ...

A wave spring is a compression spring made of coiled flat wire with waves added along the coils to give it a spring effect. They can be used in place of conventional round wire compression springs in ...

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 ...

Die springs are a robust type of helical compression springs consisting of rectangular wire, commonly used with die sets. For the same value deflection, die springs carry 30% more load. These springs ...
