Choosing the Right Custom Springs for Your Machinery

As the name suggests, custom springs are types of springs designed and manufactured to meet specific application requirements of a particular machine or product, be it an automobile’s suspension or aircraft control and landing gear. Whether compressed, stretched, or twisted, custom springs are versatile mechanical devices that store and release energy, making them ideal components in numerous machines and mechanisms.

When it comes to choosing springs for an application, engineers need to have a clear understanding of what the spring will be required to do. This involves considering factors such as material, environmental conditions, sizing, load requirements, dampening requirements, and the like. Engineers must also take into account how the springs will interact with other components in the system, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance.
