ÂÌñÏ×ÆÞ is presenting a free MW Industries-sponsored webinar on Dec. 5 at 2 p.m. EST titled, “Disruptive Alternative for Metal Compression Springs Expands Product Development Possibilities.”
Abstract: Design engineers are constantly looking for new technologies to improve product design performance and create points of differentiation for their companies. For products using a traditional metal compression spring, a newly-developed carbon composite compression spring is improving mature product performance attributes. The new technology also offers a fresh approach for emerging innovations that require unique design considerations. In this webinar, we will introduce the audience to configurable, disk spring designs using carbon fiber-reinforced polymers. These surpass performance attributes of standard helical metal springs and act as a catalyst to push boundaries for unexplored or under-development applications.
Primary topics include:
- Disrupting standard design considerations for springs
- How properties of composites apply to disk spring design
- Performance and design considerations
- Uncovering niche uses
Presenter is Greg Hazard, composite spring product manager and aerospace market specialist at MW Industries (Rosemount, IL, US).
