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 line of low-index, high-pressure compression springs consists of 144 slender parts packed with high-load capacities, rated to pressures of 300, 400, and 500 psi. The springs, made from 17-7PH ...

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 ...

In determining the characteristics of coiled wire springs, if all the component forces, including those of torsion, transverse shear, tension, and compression, are considered, the calculation may be ...

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 ...
