Spring Fatigue Testing Fundamentals: Why Life-Cycle Analysis Matters for Your Products

Springs seem simple. A coil of wire that compresses, extends, or twists. In static loading scenarios, they’re nearly bulletproof. But the real world isn’t static. Every application involving springs—automotive suspension, valve assemblies, medical device actuation, industrial machinery—subjects them to cycles. Thousands of them. Millions, sometimes. And that’s where fatigue becomes critical. Spring fatigue testing isn’t […]
