We’re the #spring experts... but we don’t actually make springs? That’s right - we don’t manufacture them, but we do know exactly who does. 🤝 Through our Sales Lead Service, we connect you directly with trusted UK #SpringMakers & suppliers. Start here: bit.ly/44We9Ul

Material selection is an important process in #SpringManufacturing, so knowing the technical terms used in spring materials is essential. Hit play to learn more about these terms👇 Want more bitesize videos on spring materials? Head over to our YouTube: bit.ly/3TTYWPe

Feeling the midweek fatigue? 😮‍💨 Your springs do too - and we’re here to test just how much they can handle. Replicating real-world conditions through #FatigueTesting tells us if the spring is fit for purpose and is the only way to validate a spring's behaviour or material!

If you're running a failure analysis, #decarburisation depth is often one of the first things checked. Measuring it is essential for understanding whether surface weakening contributed to the failure, and for determining if the spring met specification during manufacturing. 🌀

Corrosion itself doesn't usually cause springs to fail outright. Instead, it creates tiny pits on the surface, which act as stress concentration points, triggering premature fatigue. 💥 Check out our blog post for more info on signs of corrosion: bit.ly/3s3w6BJ

SCP is built to make your work easier, faster and more accurate. Whether you work in automotive, aerospace or agriculture - if you're involved in the #SpringMaking process from design to manufacture, then SCP is the tool designed to help you get it right, every time. ✨

Did you know there are 4 recommended #alloys for #springs? 👀 Hit play to find out the importance of #NACEApproved Materials for #springs & why choosing the right one is critical in preventing corrosion & costly failures in demanding environments. ➡️ bit.ly/3REsjEV

Nested compression springs are multiple #CompressionSprings assembled together, typically placed one inside the other or side by side, to work as a single unit. This design allows for greater load capacity or variable spring rates within a compact space. 🌀

As the name suggests, rectangular wire #CompressionSprings are made using wire with a rectangular cross-section instead of the more common round wire. This type of spring is 𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙡𝙮 stiffer for the same space, which means you can reach much higher forces. 🌀

Springs are critical components in many applications, so ensuring their quality & reliability is absolutely essential. That’s why we’re proud to hold #ISO9001 - a mark of our commitment to the highest standards in design, testing & technical services for springs worldwide 🤝

All of this and an expert team = your one-stop hub for everything spring-related. We're a unique centre of excellence for #SpringTechnology, advising and supporting businesses in every aspect of the spring #supply chain. 🌀 Let's get started: bit.ly/3D4eg3z

Unsure how #TorsionSprings actually apply load? 👀 We explain it all in this short video - so you can understand more about how these springs store and release energy through twisting motion. You can head over to our YouTube channel for more videos: bit.ly/3REsjEV

Improves lifespan, reduces risk of surface cracks and removes burrs - that's just a few of the benefits from shot peening your components. And there's plenty more! ✨ Interested? Speak to our team today: bit.ly/3D4eg3z #ShotPeening #SpringDesign #SpringManufacturing

Increases in temperature will progressively decrease the #TensileStrength and Young's modulus of an alloy. What does that 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 mean? At high temperatures, metal springs (or any components) may weaken, stretch more easily and be more prone to failure under load! 🌀

Did you catch any of the Grand Prix? It’s fascinating to think that at those speeds, the smallest mechanical elements have to perform flawlessly. That includes #springs - not just in suspension, but hidden in systems like gear shifts, throttle controls & braking mechanisms. 🌀

That's our mission. 🫡 We're passionate about educating the #SpringIndustry, so we’ve created a range of resources to help promote our industry. Through online learning, videos & in-house training, we make spring knowledge accessible to everyone: bit.ly/4jT2A70

Hot coiling annealed materials for #springs involves shaping spring wire at elevated temperatures after it has been annealed. It's a heat treatment that softens the metal by relieving internal stresses and restoring ductility. 🔥 More bitesize videos: bit.ly/3TTYWPe
