MINI BLOCK SPRINGS

Mini block springs are designed explicitly for the rear axle, where they can best leverage their strengths. This way it’s extremely compact barrel shaped design allows the vehicle manufacturers more freedom in the planning of the luggage compartment. The coils are designed so that they can lie inside one another at high deflection without interference. In addition, they are constructed in their design to allow a comfortable ride without load, but offer a supreme handling at full load. Typical for this type of design is its progressive nature, which is not achieved by different winding distances, but only by an inconsistent wire diameter. Since mini block springs, unlike cylindrical springs, have a shorter life expectancy, Eibach has developed the concept which is optimized through the use of a cylindrical constant wire.

• progressive spring characteristic

• space-saving variant of the helical compression spring

• mostly inconstant wire with tapered cross-sections
