  • When a wire is wound 360 in a spiral shape, it creates coils, and this is how springs are made. Compression springs have pitch (space) between each coil and this allows them to fulfill their function of absorbing and releasing energy (compressing and then returning to their original shape). The amount of coils a spring has can determine different things, such as force, elasticity, and memory. That is why coil count is an important aspect of selecting or creating a custom spring. ...

  • Torsional Springs Torsion springs are coil springs with legs. The motion they carry out is in rotation, hence their name and this allows them to provide a rotational force (called torque) in a radial (round) direction.

The force causes the torsion springs leg to travel (or move) to a desired distance in degrees of rotation. In torsion springs this movement o...

  • What is spring buckling or bending? Buckling or bending happens in compression springs during deflection due to the instability caused by a high slenderness ratio. A high slenderness ratio means the length is three times the width of the spring(more on this in a bit). As the spring is compressed, if the spring is too long, the lack of stability makes the coils tremble and wobble. This can cause the load to create pressure on the shifted coils and plaster them, damaging the spring. Spri...
