Discover the benefits of a machined spring

For spring applications where design considerations such as accuracy, linearity, repeatability and parallelism are critical, particularly over the long term, designers would do well to consider the machined spring over its traditional wire-wound counterpart, as ABSSAC mechanical sales engineer Peter Wright explains.

ABSSAC machining capability

ABSSAC has invested strongly in its in-house machining capability for lead screws and ball screws, meeting the needs of customers for whom consistent quality and rapid delivery of custom machined parts are crucial. By relying on ABSSAC, customers can be assured of receiving products that perfectly match their drawings, are well packaged, and delivered on time. This eliminates delays in their own production and ensures customer satisfaction, leading to repeat orders.
