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 ...

If you’ve used a desktop 3D printer in the past, you’re almost certainly done battle with “strings”. These are the wispy bits of filament that harden in the air, usually as the printer’s nozzle moves ...

Up, down, to the left and to the right…. – the servo hydraulic testing machine HB 100 of Zwick in Ulm considers all possibilities and performs both tensile/compression and torsion tests on helical ...

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 ...
