Ever wondered why springs sometimes fail unexpectedly? It could be due to embrittlement. 👇 This process makes spring materials brittle over time, reducing their ability to withstand stress and increasing the risk of sudden failure - it can occur locally or across the entire material!

Do you know the difference between uncorrected and corrected stress in springs? 👀 To put it simply, uncorrected stress in springs is calculated based on ideal conditions without accounting for real-world factors like material variations or manufacturing tolerances. Corrected stress, however, adjusts for these factors to provide a more accurate measure of the stress the spring will actually experience in operation. Don't let it 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨 you out, our experts are here to help. 😏 #Springs #SpringDesign #SpringDesigners #DesignEngineers #SpringTesting #SpringFailure #FailureAnalysis #LoadTesting

Spring testing with the experts. 😏 We're capable of testing the smallest of deflections from 0.30mm up to 250mm and loads to a maximum of 35,000 N.

Spring end types refer to the different ways the ends of a spring are shaped or processed to meet specific requirements. Closed and ground ends, machine hook ends, double loops ends, and v-hook ends are all common examples - each with unique advantages depending on the application's needs. Can you name any other end types? 🤔 #SpringEndTypes #Springs #SpringDesign #SpringDesigners #DesignEngineers #SpringTesting #SpringFailure #SpringManufacturing

We're cracking down on spring failures. 🔍 Coiling cracks, bending cracks, and quench cracks are all types of cracks that can happen due to different reasons. Ultimately, understanding these cracks helps us prevent future failures and ensure spring reliability.
