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 ...

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 ...

From full-sized F-250s to pint-sized Geo Trackers and everything in between, coil springs have revolutionized the ride quality and suspension performance of 4x vehicles for decades. Though your ...

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 ...

5lb increments allow you to get your shock feeling exactly right; no tools or spring swaps needed for adjustment; comparable in weight to a standard coil Cons: Lab readings show that the spring rates ...

They come together in suspension kits. They go hand in hand. But do you know what springs and shocks really do and what characteristics for each that you’re looking for? Usually these aren’t things ...

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 ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Recently, the following two new items are strongly required for coil springs used in automotive suspensions. One of them is the control of the ...

Composite leaf springs are not new to the automotive industry. In fact, the leaf spring itself dates back to the horse-drawn carriage. By design, leaf springs absorb vertical vibrations caused by ...

Leaf springs were a hot new technology several years ago, and by "several years," we mean the Bronze Age. Vehicles have evolved somewhat since the chariot, what with trotting and biting horses being ...
