Engineers are often looking for what is technically called a torsion spring when they search for a torque spring. The two terms are frequently used to describe the same basic type of spring: a component designed to store energy through twisting and produce torque as it moves through an angle. At HyTech Spring and Machine […]

The team here at HyTech Spring & Machine has worked on micro machining projects of virtually all shapes and sizes. That includes the products themselves: no surprise, considering our experience ranges from precision medical device components to aerospace parts, as well as automotive and electronics components. It also includes the scope of the projects themselves: […]
If you work in medical device development, you already know that the push toward minimally invasive procedures has fundamentally changed what’s being asked of component manufacturers. Considering the precision and complexity required, sourcing a reliable medical manufacturer for such products can be a challenge in itself. Whether we’re producing catheters, stent delivery systems, neurovascular microcatheters, […]
Miniature compression springs are among the most specification-sensitive components in any electronics assembly. At HyTech, we regularly manufacture custom springs with wire diameters measured in thousandths of an inch, spring rates that must remain consistent across millions of cycles, and free length tolerances that leave almost no room for variation. All of that is to […]
When you’re sourcing for aerospace applications in which a single non-conforming part can ground an aircraft, you need more than a standard machine shop with the right capabilities on paper. Successful aerospace manufacturing today demands experienced suppliers who know the industry and its myriad regulations…with the right machining equipment and processes in place to get […]
When most people think about the components that keep commercial aircraft in the air, or those enabling a surgeon to perform a life-saving procedure, springs rarely come to mind. Yet these small, seemingly simple components are crucially embedded into some of the most high-tech equipment built today. At HyTech Spring & Machine, we’ve spent more […]
The aerospace industry has always demanded precision manufacturing, but today’s advanced aircraft and spacecraft systems raise the bar even higher. From complex hydraulic systems to electro-mechanical components, modern aerospace manufacturing increasingly focuses on miniature parts with tolerances measured in microns. The smaller the component, the bigger the consequences for missed tolerances or defects. Even the […]
Precision small springs play a crucial role in today’s most demanding electronic test and sensing applications, in addition to the medical and aerospace applications we usually discuss. In virtually all cases, a few microns in tolerance can make the difference between rock-solid performance and intermittent failures. At HyTech Spring & Machine, high-precision tolerances are the […]
