METZ CONNECT has developed a spring clamp terminal block with compression-mount contacts that is ideally suited for compact, low profile devices for building automation applications. In the race to ...

Compression springs are very common and used in many industries today to store (or release mechanical energy). A compression spring pushes back when an axial force is applied, allowing engineers to ...

Let’s first consider stress, set and weight as important considerations in establishing a custom spring design which need to be understood at the outset. The dimensions, along with the load and ...

The dimensions, along with the load and deflection requirements, determine the stresses in the spring. When a compression spring is loaded, the coiled wire is stressed in torsion. The stress is ...

If you’ve used a desktop 3D printer in the past, you’re almost certainly done battle with “strings”. These are the wispy bits of filament that harden in the air, usually as the printer’s nozzle moves ...
