Springs may appear simple, but their behavior and integrity when in use can change dramatically when exposed to extreme heat or extreme cold. Temperature plays a critical role in how a spring functions in any application.  At Apex we have a deep understanding of materials and engineering around those challenges.

In the spring industry, Carbon is a key element that makes the material have “Spring.” Learn more about carbon and its amazing contribution to spring manufacturing!

Understanding spring applications can be the key to a successful product, so it is important to know how they work but also why they fail.

Although the design and engineering of a compression spring may seem to be a simple process, there are multiple factors that have to be considered. Each element has to be carefully considered to ensure the successful performance of a compression spring. Of the various factors, pitch is carefully examined especially during the manufacturing phase since the coiling of the wire can create variations in the pitch.
