Cold / hot forming

• Today there is no difference in the quality
  between hot and cold formed springs, provided,
  that the cold formed springs are heat treated
  after coiling to stress release them (tempering)
• Cold coiled springs have the advantage, that
  there are no tooling costs and you can make small
  quantites on a reasonable price level.
• Warm coiled springs need toolings, due to
  fluctuations in temperature of the heating and
  cooling they need a bigger tolerance range, cold
  coiled springs can be better produced to the
  exact specification. Only in big batches warm
  coiling is economical.

Barrel springs / Minibloc springs

Barrel spring / Minibloc spring

• Obviously the minibloc and the barrel
  spring do not have the same characteristics. The
  minibloc has due to its conical wire and
  progressive springs rate a comfortable beginning
  and reaches the full force only at the end. The
  barrel spring with linear wire is stiffer from
  the beginning and definitely reaches the same
  force.
• Especially on bad roads the minibloc spring
  is very susceptible to breaking in the thinner
  ends. Therefore the lifetime of a barrel spring
  is up to three times higher than a minibloc
  springs.
