As a country, the UK is investing record amounts into infrastructure for transport, renewable energy, and utility networks. Totalling more than £92 billion, these large-scale projects will place us into one of the most ambitious periods of infrastructure investment in…
The technology used in modern medicine has progressed at an exponential rate over the past decade. With AI being produced to help diagnose certain types of cancer, and robots to assist surgeons with different types of procedures, we’re in a…
Non-ferrous metals and alloys are called so because they lack the iron content that ferrous materials have. Choosing the right materials for springs is critical, since they will impact the quality and longevity of the final product. At Airedale Springs,…
What is Brass? Brass is a metal alloy comprised of copper and zinc amongst other materials. The proportions of copper and zinc can vary, making it a versatile and adaptable material in spring manufacturing. For instance, a brass spring that…
Selecting the right material for industrial springs is crucial, as each type has unique properties suited to specific applications. For example, springs in the electronics industry often use copper or copper alloys for their excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. On…
Choosing the best spring material and finish is crucial for ensuring optimal performance and longevity of compression springs in various applications. Essentially, the material of the spring determines its mechanical properties, such as strength, elasticity, and durability, whilst the finish…
When most people think about springs, they tend to have a specific image in their minds. Of course, a classic compression helical spring is the most well-known, but many other designs, such as flat springs, fulfil vital functions. Flat springs…
The increasing complexity of electrical devices makes the reliability of the internal components vital to ensure a high-quality device. In addition, most electronic devices people use daily have many miniature components inside, including high-quality small springs. Benefits of Choosing Spring…
Most springs share a common goal – they’re manufactured to store and release energy as required. Many materials on paper can perform this task (including paper itself, although we wouldn’t recommend it), but not all springs materials are created equal.…
Here at Airedale Springs, we manufacture springs for a wide variety of industries. The spring is an integral part of modern engineering, and you’ll find them everywhere, but it is not a one-size-fits-all situation. Different industries require different springs made…
