Coil spring force line control is an important aspect of spring design for coil-over-shock suspension type applications, such as MacPherson strut and coil-over-shock trailing arm applications, from ...

The most common coil-spring front suspension uses two control arms (also called A-arms because of their shape) per side, mounted to the frame, and a coil spring between them that exerts force on only ...

What Is a "Force Vectoring Spring"? This special riff on the coil spring uses cold-formed steel that's directionally wound (the right and left rear springs are not interchangeable) with the pitch and ...

Take a steel rod, wrap it into a spiral shape, throw some engineered heat-treating in the mix, and you've got yourself a coil spring. That spring can be used as part of your suspension to support the ...

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 ...

We asked Smalley marketing engineer Justyna Rapacz to fill us in on the design of wave springs and their utility to engineers designing products. We turned to Smalley as the inventor of the edge wound ...
