Why Nothing Beats Buying Custom Precision Springs
The sheer benefits of buying custom precision springs is revealed in the name itself. Whether you are purchasing a particular set of springs for a product or any other application, you want a custom-made product that operates precisely how you need it to. Here are a few reasons why nothing beats buying made-to-order springs. You […]
Understanding Spring and Wire Form Terminology
Spring and wire form manufacturers use a lot of industry specific terms that can sound off putting to people who are not all too familiar with what goes into designing and engineering a custom spring or wire form. At The Yost Superior Co., we make it our mission to provide our customers with the precise […]
Understanding the Basics of Spring Deflection
Spring deflection is defined as the motion the spring makes as it moves up and down. Every mechanical spring, including extension, compression, and torsion springs, have a spring deflection (although different terminology is used in the technical definition of deflection depending on the type of spring used). In most cases, deflection is represented in mathematical […]
Which Factors Affect Spring Performance?
All precision spring manufacturers understand that one of the most important issues with springs is their performance. If the spring isn’t reliable, the equipment it is a part of may fail or perform much less efficiently than it should. Because of this, manufacturers and product designers need to go to great lengths to determine what […]
Common Uses for Extension Springs
Extension springs can be customized to fit into a multitude of applications. When given the right design properties, they are handy little parts that can be used for a number of things. So what are these springs used for? Here are some of the common uses of extension springs: Automotive Uses: Extension springs can be […]
The Many Uses for Custom Springs
Custom springs are the driving force behind the precise operation of more applications, products and machines than most people know. As precision spring manufacturers, we are always ready to help our customers understand which spring will fit best based on their needs. Whether you need compression, torsion or extension springs depends on the type […]
Common Uses for Torsion Springs
Torsion springs are the odd man out when it comes to spring design, but their unique properties make them perfect for applications that cannot operate using standard springs. When thinking about torsion spring design, manufacturers should take into account the number of total and active coils as well as the wire material, diameter and […]
Common Uses for Compression Springs
The most common and efficient springs on the market, compression springs are used in applications and products that span countless industries and trades. Because of the efficient way in which they store energy and the multiple shapes that they can be formed into, these types of mechanical springs are highly customizable. At The Yost Superior […]
Difference Between Inconel and Stainless Steel Springs
The material you choose is important when it comes to designing precision springs. Depending on the particular goods you manufacture, the environment in which they operate and any other variables that factor into your application, the material you need for a custom spring may vary greatly. At The Yost Superior Co., we work with a […]
