Since they were first applied in spring-driven clocks in the 15 th century to store mechanical energy, compression springs have evolved to have different shapes and designs. The conical spring is a ...

Disc springs are conically shaped, washer-like components designed to be axially loaded. What makes disc springs unique is that, based on standard calculations (detailed in DIN EN 16984), the ...

In the fall of 1940, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill ordered a small team of scientists on a clandestine transatlantic mission to deliver his country’s most valuable military secret — a ...

Q: I have really taken the theory behind your articles to heart, and I have done my best to apply it to the greatest extent I can. I’m always looking for ways to improve my ability to calculate bends ...

The scenario goes something like this. Our LS3 used to rev freely and make power all the way up through 6,800 rpm, but now it struggles to get to 6,000 and power is definitely down. After a thorough ...

The Hot Rod Calc is the engine builder and tuner's best friend. It has a slew of built-in math functions, which are useful for planning your next engine build. Not only that, but if you need help ...

Abstract: A new MEMS conical spring actuator array is proposed. Previously, we have developed conical spring microactuators having a long stroke (180 /spl mu/m) in the out-of-plane direction. However, ...
