‘Torsion Springs’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Abssac torsion springs have linear spring rates from Abssac, which we summarised at the time by saying "Abssac supplies unwind and wind-up torsion springs with linear spring rates. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release SLS-ELAN has lift-assist stay and soft-down damper from Sugatsune Kogyo UK: "Sugatsune Kogyo is offering the SLS-ELAN, a combination of a lift-assist stay with a Lapcon soft-down damper for upward opening flap doors. ".
 
In October 2009, we covered the news from Igus UK - take a look at Igus optical-fibre cable suits all bus systems which says: "Igus has developed an optical-fibre cable, Chainflex CFLG.2LB, which is suitable for all bus systems. ".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Festo, Festo develops low-cost electric actuator, as well as Flow Science releases CFD software from Flow Science, and Huco Dynatork springs have controllable torsion from Huco Dynatork.
