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 ...

Coil winding technology has evolved rapidly over the past few decades, transforming the way electrical components are ...

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 ...

Leaf springs are treated like archaic tech, as they aren’t found under any of the latest industry-leading performance cars, and are often used as a point of reference that shows how “dated” a ...

“Wait, was that 423 or 424?” When you’re stuck winding a transformer or coil that has more than a few hundred turns, you’re going to want to spend some time on a winding jig. This video, embedded ...
