Abstract:
Industrial vehicles and passenger cars have to reduce their tare weight, and to improve safety as well as life expectancy of their components...

Composite compression spring is the solution in order to do successfully the job!

We will start our statement with a presentation of our study on composite torsion springs and will go on describing SARDOU SA installations devoted to composite.

Then we will introduce the compression spring concept, and will explain why they are so good compared to composite leaf springs and hairpins.

We will then show some experimental results and some potential applications.
