Watch industry
A Swiss luxury watch is more than a timepiece. It’s a statement – it says something about the person wearing it. To ensure the watch functions reliably for many years, and even for many generations, the manufacturer has to carefully select the components.
Medical technology
Pacemakers, injection systems, canulae: When technical devices are required to assist healing and support health, precision is vital. This is because springs used as energy stores in the minutest of spaces over long cycles must function correctly.
Schwab-Feller AG manufactures medical technology products made mainly from stainless steel grades 1.4301, 1.4404 and 1.4435.
Spring simulation
To design the right springs for your application is a matter of physics. Complex formulas can at least theoretically determine what the ideal spring should be. Unfortunately, theory and practice are seldom in tune. It is only years of experience combined with data collected from already produced springs that is beneficial here.
