Depending on the requirements, each spring is made of <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.federnshop.com\/en\/spring-steel-properties\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">spring steel wire<\/a> on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XU-7SvpPsNQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">spring coiling machine<\/a>. The metal spring is therefore a purely mechanical product. This means that the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.federnshop.com\/en\/design-of-metal-springs-part-1-basics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">spring design<\/a> is of great importance, because it is not possible to make subsequent changes via a software update or a function adjustment.<\/p>\n<p>The questions in spring design are manifold: compression, tensile or bending load? Standard or <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.federnshop.com\/en\/metal-springs-for-extreme-cases\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">extremely resistant<\/a>?
