It is easy to say: Happy Memorial Day, without giving much thought to what that date actually stands for. Yet, there is so much more to this day than sales, picnics and the day off. Sure, there is nothing wrong with getting to celebrate all that with your loved ones, but it is also important to remember the reason behind each holiday. Once we truly stop and ponder what that day actually means, we realize it isn’t such a happy day, but it is a very important one. It is a date to think, to reflect, and to honor those who have served. It is a day for families that have lost their loved ones to the war, and for their nation, to feel proud and commemorate. It is a day to realize how lucky we are that many are willing to give up their lives for ours.

We know that life gets hard and busy, especially when workdays become long weeks, months, and before we know it, years. However, there are people in our lives that deserve our time, care and admiration, moms are one of them. Moms tend to be the first ones to get up and the last to go to bed, they dedicate time and love to the family. They deserve our love and care every day, not just once a year. Mother’s day is just a reminder of the great difference that moms make in our world. At Acxess Spring, we want to celebrate Mother’s day by honoring all the moms out there that go out of their way to make sure our lives are a little bit better every day, with this short excerpt.

Initial tension is an important term related to extension springs. It refers to the tension that is store between an extension spring coils, which is what keep them together. The initial tension is released once the spring is extended to the point where you can barely see some light pass through the coils. This value directly affects the load required to pull an extension spring, that is why it is so important to keep it in mind when designing or buying a tension spring.

Rate is the constant force that a spring exerts per one unit (1 inch or 1 millimeter) of distance traveled. Therefore, it is expressed in pounds per inch or newtons per millimeter. Because the spring already has initial tension before deflection, this value is additional to the load determined by the spring rate. To further explain this, let's illustrate it differently.

The Art of Spring Making: What many don't understand about the complexity of springs

Making springs is truly an art. There is so much that goes into each spring that it can be hard to perceive it all by just looking at one. That is why many people still think that a spring is just coiled wire, but springs are so much more than that. Making a spring requires precision, calculation, design trials, in depth planning, material purchasing, set ups, specific testing, heat treating, post manufacturing verification, constant quality control, much dedication, skill, and experienced work. Still, it is not uncommon for people to complain about a custom spring needing a 4 week lead time or a batch of 25 springs costing over $300 USD. We hope the following information will provide new insight regarding the value and dedicated work it requires to manufacture quality precision springs

Maybe you need a custom spring for that device you have been thinking about fixing up, or that convertible top you have been meaning to fix Maybe you have a few products that you finished testing but realized you needed a custom spring for them.

This is the perfect time for you to analyze how far or how much you have gotten done in the year, and ensure that you are on the right track. If you have postponed advances in your product or still need engineering or design assistance be sure to retake that before we are further into the year.

Valentine’s day is here and we all want to feel special, right? At Acxess Spring, we know this day can be especially significant, but the power of love and kindness is so great that it shouldn't be caged into a single day. That is why we decided to send out a special gift with all our ISQ (Instant Spring Quote) orders this month, and not just on Valentine's Day.

We believe Valentines Day is just a reminder of how much we should value love and friendship year round. Love and kindness is not exclusive of this day, but we can use this as an impulse to start this year with a more loving and giving mindset. We would like to encourage all our customers, suppliers and our team members to take initiative and do something nice for someone else.

Here are a few random acts of kindness ideas that we encourage you to try. Please feel free to share more with us through our

Acxess Spring is dedicated to helping businesses, engineers and inventors find the perfect spring for their product. Over the years we have worked one on one with numerous professionals to assist them in their search for the perfect spring. This allowed us to detect the common factors and areas of improvement in past technology and commonly used design programs for the spring industry. Thanks to this, we were able to discover and develop several useful and highly accurate tools to assist you and extremely simplify the spring design process.

At Acxess Spring, we want to commemorate this day by reminding our staff and customers what Martin Luther King really stood for. He stood for courage. The courage to speak

The new year is here and we all know how it easy it can be to start off with the right attitude and motivation, but how hard it can get to keep that up a few months after. At Acxess Spring we believe that starting is the first step. That is why springing into action is one of our mottos, but we also believe that the key to results is consistency. Whether you are thinking of creating a new product, expanding your current project, or advancing into the next stage of your production phase, having clear goals, creating an action plan, and setting reasonable milestones will take you where you want to go without as much hassle and overwhelm.

It is important to know where you stand, where you want to go, what you want to achieve, what resources you have to get there and what steps you will take and when. In order to start the year right, make sure you take the time to consider all of this and weigh your options, from providers, to pricing and action plans. Make sure

The main function of a spring, is to store energy and release it when necessary and function under the right load. The most common types of springs are coil springs. These are made of round wire and include compression, extension, and torsion springs (along with other variations of these). However, there are also other types of less popular springs such as wire form springs and die springs. In this article we will discuss a bit more about them and why, at Acxess Spring, we focus on manufacturing and commercializing only coil springs.
