uses HELI-CALFlexure technologyto produce high performance, machined springs in a way that takes much of the guesswork out of the design and manufacturing processes.It may seem to some that machinedspringsӔ is a preposterous idea, but believe us, machined springsӔ offer performance that often appears to be light years ahead of ordinary springs.

The HELI-CALFlexure is a flexiblehelix (curved beam) machined into a unique configuration that incorporates special performance characteristics.Used as a spring, the multi-functionalflexure provides exacting performance in compression, extension, torsion, lateral bending, and lateral translation modes. >

This spring of 7075-T6 aluminum withfive starts provides compression, torsion, lateral bending and lateral translation rates, all within one individual spring. >

A single start spring is a singlecontinuous coil element whichstarts at one end and terminatesat the other end. This configurationis common to most springs. Adouble startӔ spring has twointertwined continuous coil elements.In effect, this puts two independenthelixes in the same cylindrical plane.Multiple start flexures, such as triplestart etc., are similar extensionsof the concept. >

The operational limitations of loops andhooks are not present with machined springs. The tangs common to traditionalӔ torsional springs are not needed.The incorporation of a cross slot,double tangs, spline or bolt circle, allows for a pure moment attachment so that there are no unresolved forces or moments. >
