Up, down, to the left and to the right…. – the servo hydraulic testing machine HB 100 of Zwick in Ulm considers all possibilities and performs both tensile/compression and torsion tests on helical ...

A colour-changing compound that can precisely indicate the ‘enantiomeric excess’ (ee) of chiral molecules could provide a convenient method to measure pharmaceutical purity. Many molecular systems in ...

Loosening up specs can boost spring precision. Spring rate remains about linear (Hooke's Law) until gradual coil dampening and loss boost rate. Make free length a reference dimension so spring makers ...

Customized machined springs let designers integrate multiple features into one piece. The springs can be designed to address requirements for rate, reactions at desired deflections, combined rates, ...

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 ...

Most people probably don’t think about springs until one kinks up or snaps, but most of the world’s springs are pretty crucial. The ones that aren’t go by the name Slinky. We all use and encounter ...
