Whilst we all agree that traditional wire wound springs have numerous bonafide applications, the very nature of how they are manufactured can limit their reliability and performance in the more demanding or high-duty cycle spring applications. Machined springs are more useful than you may first think!

As with its wire wound brother, all types of spring formats – such as compression, extension, torsion, lateral translation and lateral bending springs – are available in the machined format. However, from this point, the similarities between wound and machined springs stop.
