Ever wondered how springs made? Well, in this video you have the opportunity to find that out. It`s actually a very cool process and because of Dobinsons Spring & Suspension we get a full rundown of that mesmerizing process in the video below. Springs are mechanical tools that store mechanical energy due to their elasticity. Most often springs are made of hardened, coiled steel. However, non-ferrous metals like titanium and bronze are also used. It`s also worth mentioning that for some springs even plastic is used. Nevertheless, there are many types of springs. Various designs which take can take advantage of various energy storage management.
However, the compression spring is known to be the most common spring design. This type of a spring can be found from something complex as a car engine to something pretty simple like a pen. Most often, these springs are built of hardened steel because it can be pre-hardened before the spring formation. It can also be hardened following the formation. When it comes to helical springs like for example compressions springs, they use long stock wire. The coiled shape is made with an auto-coiler. This is a very complex machine that can force the spring wire to be a coiled shape. In the video below you can see the entire process. Many thanks to Dobinsons Spring & Suspension for this awesome footage.
