Let’s first consider stress, set and weight as important considerations in establishing a custom spring design which need to be understood at the outset. The dimensions, along with the load and ...

Most people probably don’t think about springs until one kinks up or snaps, but most of the world’s springs are pretty crucial. The ones that aren’t go by the name Slinky. We all use and encounter ...

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 ...
