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 ...

Coil winding technology has evolved rapidly over the past few decades, transforming the way electrical components are ...

[Mr Innovative] needed to wind some coils, and decided to make a machine to do the work. Making such machines has become a lot easier over the years. There was a time when we might probably have had ...

Spring technology for damping is relatively old. Stagecoaches had leaf springs, early trains had large, crude, coil-spring buffers (to absorb shocks when cars bumped together) and early automobiles ...

Today a lot of street-legal vehicles and off-road rigs run modern coil spring suspensions. Coil springs in their various formats have a number of advantages over traditional leaf springs and torsion ...

Leaf springs are treated like archaic tech, as they aren’t found under any of the latest industry-leading performance cars, and are often used as a point of reference that shows how “dated” a ...
