The Basics of Spring Coiling
While most springs are manufactured using a similar coiling technique, the shape of the coil can create an entirely different type of spring. When a spring is manufactured, precise measurements are taken and prototypes are constructed to ensure the coil provides the right amount of compression and deflection. Besides the linear coiled compression spring, other…
Read MoreHow Poppet Valves Keep Compressors Running
A poppet is a type of valve that is often used in compressors and many other types of mechanisms. Its purpose is to allow precise quantities of gas, liquid or steam to flow at specific times, which makes it an essential part of engine construction. This valve’s movement is initiated by a pressure differential,…
Read MoreCompressor Valve Plates Manufactured for Durability
In order for a compressor valve to function at its maximum efficiency, each of its individual components must be well-constructed. This includes the sealing components, which in certain types of compressor valves are the valve plates. Carefully manufactured compressor valve plates perform better for longer periods of time. Metals and thermoplastics each have advantages…
