Скачать или смотреть What Does Progressive Spring Rate Mean? | Timbren SES

At Timbren, we often say that our Aeon® hollow rubber springs, found in our Timbren SES products, have a progressive spring rate. But what does that mean? What is a spring rate, and what does it mean that it’s progressive?


What does “spring rate” mean? Spring rate refers to the amount of weight it takes to compress a spring by one inch. In other words, a spring rated at 200 pound per inch will compress one inch under a 200 lb. load.


What is a linear spring rate? A linear-rated spring has one defined spring rate throughout its entire range of compression. For instance, for a 300 pound per inch linear-rated spring, each additional 300 pounds after the first will compress it one more inch, and so on, until the spring is fully compressed.


What is a progressive spring rate? A progressive spring rate constantly increases as the spring continues to compress. For example, an initial 300 pounds may be required to compress the spring one inch, but for the spring to compress another inch, it may require an additional 600 pounds. The spring has now progressed to a higher spring rate, and each subsequent one inch of compression will progress to an even higher spring rate until the spring is fully compressed.


Every hollow rubber spring included in a Timbren SES kit has a progressive spring rate. Why is this so remarkable? Because a progressive spring rate increases safety and stability and ensures the vehicle will stay level at all times and that the ride will remain smooth, even under heavy loads.
