Choosing the Right Spring: How Key Principles Behind the Slits Support the Application

Oct. 3, 2023
NBK’s Flexus springs are characterized by fully customized slits. Download this whitepaper for a practical discussion on the specifications that produce flexible sizes, shapes, materials and spring rates.

Springs are vital mechanical components used in effecting motion, improving shock-absorbing capabilities. This white paper looks at NBK’s Flexus products. Characteristic custom machine slits can control various spring functions. By altering the slit shapes, numbers and inner diameters, products with the same outline dimensions can perform different functions. The white paper discusses such topics as the spring properties—shapes, materials and dimensions—and how slits affect compression, tension, shearing, and bending
