Intrinsic Vibration Behavior of Springs

In mechanical engineering, tension and compression springs are an important part of the design of mechanical systems, applications and uses. The properties of springs, such as their return force and spring constant, influence the performance and functionality of machines. In order to understand these properties and the vibration behavior of spring systems, we look in this article at the physical relationships between spring systems and the relationship between the natural frequency and resonance.

Milled parts as freely configurable components through Make-to-Order – Flexibility in contract manufacturing

Make-to-Order (MTO) is the classic production process for customised production. Make-to-Order means contract manufacturing. In this process, production takes place according to individual customer requirements and only begins after the customer has placed an order. Unlike Make-to-Stock (MTS), where production and stock levels are pre-determined, MTO components are only manufactured after receipt of a customer order.

Turned parts – Precisely configurable Make-to-Order (MTO) components

Make-to-Order (MTO) turned parts and components are an important part of the modern manufacturing industry. Make-to-Order means contract manufacturing. This means that production only begins when a specific order is available. In contrast to Make-To-Stock (MTS), where products are produced for stock, MTO components are only manufactured after order receipt.

Tension pins – Overview design and application

Tension pins, or spring pins are mechanical fastening elements made of spring steel. These elements join components safely and reliably while offering a certain degree of flexibility. They are easy to install and provide even load distribution across the surface of the pin and bore hole. They are widely used in many industries and applications and are particularly useful in applications where a permanent connection is required without the use of screws or other fasteners.

Friction and friction coefficient determination of friction values of materials

The friction coefficient is a physical variable derived from the field of tribology for the friction between two objects. The friction coefficient sets the force that occurs during friction (frictional force) in relation to the force with which the objects are pressed together (pressing force). The friction coefficient is thus an important parameter when examining material wear and sliding properties. This article explains the basics of the friction coefficient, its measurement methods and its applications in technology.
