Alex Driver Becomes STEM Ambassador

Our MD Alex Driver has recently signed up to become a STEM Ambassador; he is the first of many John Binns’ employees that we hope will be signing up to become ambassadors. This means he is now part of a community of 30,000 ambassadors across the UK. STEM refers to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics subjects. STEM Ambassadors are volunteers from the age of 17 that represent a vast range of STEM-related jobs and disciplines across the UK. They [...]

Fundamental Mistakes in Spring Design

Springs are very often overlooked in the design process of new products. It is no exaggeration to say that they are a key functional component in most mechanical devices and that, without a properly designed spring, the products functionality and lifespan is adversely affected. The spring is often considered a small and inexpensive part of a much larger article, therefore the designer will recognise that there is a requirement for a spring, but may leave the specification of the [...]

Initial Tension [Video]

The initial tension is released, when a tension spring is extended to a certain point, where gaps appear between the coils.

Tension Spring Rate [Video]

The rate is the strength of a spring as defined by Hooke's law. Hooke's Law states that the force needed to extend a spring is directly proportional to the distance you stretch it. Hooke's Law can be represented as F = ks. 'F' is the spring's restoring force 'k' is the spring constant 's' is the deflection (extension)

Counting Coils on a Tension Spring [video]

Counting coils on a tension spring is the same as counting coils on a compression spring. The type of ends on a spring will make no difference to the number of coils.

Loads at Length for a Tension Spring [Video]

How spring loads work within a tension spring. If too much weight is applied to the spring it will no longer contract, therefore breaking the spring.

JB Springs Christmas do

The Christmas celebrations have officially started at JB Springs, and it kicked off with an outing to Jungle Rumble in Leeds, a 36 hole adventure golf course. Jungle rumble also has a cocktail bar, mini bowling, a pool table and basketball machines that kept the whole team entertained. The mini golf trip was followed by an exceptional meal at Estabulo Rodizio Bar and Grill. Estabulo is a Brazilian restaurant that prepares all its dishes in an authentic manner, which gives [...]
