■ Spiral torsion springs allow rotation in two directions and a ‘return to centre’ capability. Spiral torsion springs are normally used in applications requiring less than 360° rotation – generally used to obtain a large amount of torque with a small amount of rotation.
■ Power Springs store rotational energy by being stressed when wound around the arbor. The spring delivers rotational energy to the arbor when it rotates, by expanding to the maximum curvature allowed by the keeper.
Founded in Sweden in 1675, Lesjöfors is operating on a global scale in the development and manufacturing of technical springs, formed/stamped parts, gas springs and metal conveyor belts. With a workforce of over 2,500 at over 35 production facilities globally, the Lesjöfors Group ranks as a leading company in the springs industry. John Evans’ Sons, part of Lesjöfors Group, is eager to discuss the design requirements and spring challenges in clients’ various design and prototype phases.

Precision ceramic components
manufactures customisable Ceramic components in Germany. It has extensive knowledge in the field of technical ceramics. With injection moulding (CIM) and other manufacturing processes, such as 3D printing and extrusion in combination with specific finishing processes, it produces highly complex ceramic parts – with unique precision and of the highest quality.
The higher the requirements in a project, the more interesting technical ceramics are as a material. Ceramic precision spindles, axles and shafts, complex customer-specific ceramic components for microtechnology, or scratch- resistant housing components. In maxon’s drives, they tested high- performance industrial ceramics for many years. Through a range of procedures for manufacturing high-quality ceramic products, it ensures top results. Materials used in medical technology, such as endoscopes, must fulfil highly demanding requirements. Only excellent, optically perfect, and reliable components make the grade. In addition, they must be biocompatible and resistant to bodily fluids. We offer not only standard components, such as axles and spindles, but also customised components. The earlier you involve maxon in your project, the faster and more cost efficiently it can achieve your goal: ■ Ceramic components – Spindles, axles, insulating sleeves, bearings, cannulas
Ceramics are used when other materials fail.
maxons’ roots are in Switzerland, but its drives set things in motion worldwide. maxon develops and builds precision drive systems. Its brushless and brushed DC motors with ironless windings are among the best in the world. maxon also develops and
■ Special properties – Precision, biocompatibility, low thermal conduction, wear resistance, corrosion resistance
