Lee Spring says its heavy duty die springs are not like an average spring; they’re made from different shaped wire from traditional die springs for starters, and they work in slightly different ways. But different is a good thing and as a result these springs offer a number of benefits for (more...)

A novel airbag bicycle helmet, that is worn like a collar, deploys in 0.1 seconds, providing superior protection against head injuries. Key to its operation is wire detail and a leaf spring from Lesjöfors. Concussion is one of the major causes of brain injury. Hence the need importance of a (more...)

Wire springs date back to before the Industrial Revolution. They established their value immediately, and have not wavered from that most useful course. Certainly, enhancements in materials and manufacturing have been forthcoming, but the basic concept has not changed much. Spring wire coiled hot or (more...)

TFC has introduced a standard range of nested wave springs from Smalley, available from stock in carbon and 17-7 stainless steel and in sizes from 16-100mm. And if one of the standard sizes does fit your application, Smalley can design you a custom product. The Spirawave nested wave springs from (more...)

Disc springs are extremely useful components in a wide range of applications, being able to be statically loaded either continuously or intermittently, or dynamically subjected to continuous load cycling. And they can be used singly or in multiples, stacked parallel, in series or in a combination (more...)

A valve spring is a critical component in a new system that meets the needs for more advanced ‘bailout technologies’ to provide divers with an extended supply of emergency breathing gas in the even of a primary failure, delivering 45 minutes of emergency life support at a depth of 120 (more...)

Leicester-based gas spring and damper solutions manufacturer Camloc Motion Control has continued the growth of its manufacturing and product development arm following significant investment in a second CNC Lathe. The new DMG MORI Sprint 32|8 machine worth £175,000, similar to one acquired by (more...)

Spirol has announced that it is now able to offer pre-stacked disc springs. While some applications only require a single Disc, others require a number of Disc Springs to be stacked in a particular configuration to achieve specific force/deflection performance requirements. Historically, Spirol (more...)

Technology company Continental has developed a new air spring system with integral sensor technology that provides continuous operational status information in real time. Everyday operations in the construction and mining sectors will gain in efficiency as a result of the smart air spring: (more...)

Disc springs, also known as Belleville washers, are commonly used in high load engineering applications such as clutches and valves. In precision or safety critical products these basic springs may not offer the accurate loading or dimensional tolerances required of the application. Wave springs (more...)
