How to count spring coils [Video]

The first video in our new Springtelligence video series will show you how to correctly count the coils of a spring. If you think this sounds easy, then you might be surprised to learn that counting the coils of a spring is one of the most frequently misinterpreted concepts of spring manufacturing. Failure to count and specify coils correctly can result in errors in specification drawings which can then carry through to the final production of the spring. Watch [...]

Tension Springs or Compression Springs

Tension and compression springs are one of the most commonly recognised springs, although each have distinct features and benefits in their own rights. So what are the differences and how can they help you with your project? Although a tension and compression spring are both helical coiled springs, the difference in their functionality and purpose can be significant. In essence, tension springs are designed to bring components together, whilst compression springs are made to keep components apart. Tension Springs [...]

Manufacturing order books close to a 30-year high

Manufacturing in Britain has remained close to a 30-year high in Q4, according to the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) industrial trends survey. The survey completed by 371 manufacturers saw a surge in order book levels due to a strong demand in the motor vehicles, transport equipment and mechanical engineering sectors. As a result, total order books in the three months to December are at the same pace as the highest rate since August 1988. Many manufacturers pleasantly saw [...]

How 3D printing is changing the manufacturing landscape

Many industry experts believe 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is heralding the dawn of the 4th industrial revolution. Although 3D printing was developed during the 1980s, its evolution and adoption, particularly over the last five years, has gathered pace. The Sculpteo ‘State of 3D printing’ study found that 55 percent of industry professionals surveyed predict that they will be spending more on 3D printing in the next 12 months. As 3D printing technology continues to mature, growing [...]
