HIGH PERFORMANCE “MACHINED” SPRINGS

Feb. 29, 2008

SANTA MARIA, CA., February 27, 2008--“Machined” springs from Helical Products Co. combine the elastic properties of materials such as high strength steels, aluminum and titanium with a curved beam helix (HELI-CAL® Flexure) to provide precise deflection rates for compression, extension, torsion, lateral bending and lateral translation spring functions. Applications range from deep space instrumentation to medical apparatus on earth.

“Machined” springs, in general, provide more precise performance, features and functions than can other more traditional types of springs.
