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 ...

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 ...

Coil-sprung suspension is a low-stiction, low-maintenance approach to suspending your mountain bike, with less heat build-up than air suspension. However, unlike air suspension (where you just ...

Suspension handling is always a compromise between a good ride and good performance. Today's systems can provide both, but a little understanding of what factors affect spring rate can help you ...

Spring technology for damping is relatively old. Stagecoaches had leaf springs, early trains had large, crude, coil-spring buffers (to absorb shocks when cars bumped together) and early automobiles ...
