Can wave springs replace your coil springs?

You have a bore that needs a defined preload, and the round-wire coil spring your calculation asks for is simply too tall for the cavity. You can machine a deeper pocket, redesign the housing, or reach for a spring that delivers the same force in roughly half the...

Choosing between die springs and disc springs

A die spring and a disc spring can drop into the same bore on a stamping tool, but they solve very different problems. A die spring is a heavy duty helical coil built to take repeated stroke under high load, typical of a punch returning to top dead centre several...

Applications of stamping parts in technical assemblies

Most stamping parts are never noticed by the end user. They sit behind covers, inside housings, or integrated into larger mechanical and electrical systems where their function is expected rather than seen. Yet in many technical assemblies, the performance of the...
