Coil Springs
A coil spring is an elastic element made of metal or heavy plastic in the form of curls or ringlets of round wire or cord that is wrapped around a cylinder. The winding of a coil spring can be loose or tight in a helical shape depending on the application for which it is made…
Compression Springs
Coil springs called compression springs can store mechanical energy when they are compressed. These open-coiled, helical springs provide resistance to compressive loading. When these springs are…
Extension Springs
Extension springs are helical wound springs that are so closely coiled together to create initial tension in the coils. This initial tension creates resistance against the force applied to its ends for extension. The initial tension helps determine how closely and…
Industrial Springs
Industrial springs are heavy duty springs that have a high load capacity and are able to store energy when they are twisted, compressed, or pulled. When the force that deforms an industrial spring is removed, the spring returns to its original form and…
Metal Springs
Springs are a flexible machine element that store mechanical energy when subjected to tensile, compressive, bending, or torsional forces. When the spring is deflected, it stores energy and at the same time exerts an opposing force…
Torsion Springs
A torsion spring is a mechanical device that stores and releases rotational energy. Each end of the torsion spring is connected to a mechanical component. As the spring is rotated around its axis on one end, the winding of the spring is tightened and stores potential energy…
Wire Forming
Wire forming is a method for applying force to change the contour of wire by bending, swaging, piercing, chamfering, shearing, or other techniques. The various techniques for wire forming can produce any type of shape, form, or configuration…
Contract Manufacturing
Contract manufacturing is a business model where a company hires a manufacturer to produce its products or components. It is an outsourcing method for producing products by taking advantage of the resources and expertise of an…
Wire Racks
A wire rack is a level wire form utilized to stock and exhibit a number of products, usually retail. The bottom surface on which such goods are stored is made of several latticed or interlaced metal strands…
