コイルスプリングとウェーブスプリングの違いは?

Springs have very wide applications — from cars to machinery and electronics, even medical devices. Springs can store energy; they may be used in shock absorption or for maintaining mechanical balance. Among the different types of springs commonly used in modern engineering, coil springs and wave springs happen to be two of them. Though these may look like items performing the same function, i.e., providing elastic force, there exist differences between them with respect to design, material used for making them, application areas where they are used, and performance characteristics. Knowing these differences will help an engineer, manufacturer, as well as a buyer, select the right type of spring according […]
