CYLINDRICAL SPRINGS

Cylindrical axle springs are probably the most classic design of coil springs and found primarily in double wishbone systems and related assemblies. Their windings are all equidistant from the imagined central axis of the spring in a horizontal line. In the linear design, the vertical spacing of the coil over the entire height is constant, which favors a homogeneous pattern over the full travel. In the progressive design, the distance between the windings over the entire length changes significantly. The goal is a comfortable suspension performance at low agitation in conjunction with a safe, sporty handling at stronger frequencies. A similar effect can also be achieved through its winding course by changing wire diameter. But regardless of how the vehicle designers have decided, Eibach covers the whole spectrum of standard replacement spring demand.

• classical helical compression spring

• centric center line (linear course of the center line)

• often installed in double wishbone systems

• linear or progressive spring characteristic
