A better spiral spring

A better spiral spring

William Hughes announces that it has extended its range of springs to include spiral springs. Rather than using soft wire which is then hardened and tempered to give the required characteristics, William Hughes uses CNC technology to process spring hard wire into the required shape. The spring is then stress relieved and finished, resulting in a spring that is faster to produce, has a lower cost, looks better and has improved performance characteristics.
