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 ...

Loosening up specs can boost spring precision. Spring rate remains about linear (Hooke's Law) until gradual coil dampening and loss boost rate. Make free length a reference dimension so spring makers ...

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 ...
