Spring-loaded plungers use a spring and a plunger (or ball tip) to exert a precise and repeatable force. They are a better option than having engineers cobble together an assembly that uses a simple, ...

• Stock springs are generally intended for prototyping, and their use in production can compromise designs. • Experts recommend discussing specific design requirements with a spring manufacturer. The ...

Introduction​ The manufacturing sector has always been plagued by spring design failures as the main factor causing machinery to vibrate more than normal and th ...

If you are designing a product that requires any sort of smart-motion precision, spring parts that apply constant force or constant resistance are key mechanical design elements to consider. Two of ...

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 ...

We're always on the lookout for new stuff, so when information on Comp Cams dual conical valve springs came across our desk, we were eager to take a look. Comp introduced these dual conical springs in ...
