Elevate your Business

Kevin’s vision extended beyond the functionality of the spring; he wanted a stronger spring that performed exceptionally well but also stood out visually among other suspension springs on the market. Cricket and the team got to work designing a working prototype that achieves the balance of visual progressiveness desired while adhering to specific dimensions needed functionally for the PowerFlex design.

The prototyping phase continued to be a collaborative effort. The Texas team meticulously crafted samples, ensuring the physical appearance of the suspension spring didn’t compromise its functionality. Kevin actively participated and spent an entire day on the production floor fine-tuning the design with the team. The efforts of both Newcomb and Kevin paid off when they achieved a sample that closely matched Kevin’s desired product.

The Product: PowerFlex Suspension Spring

Designed for durability and aesthetic appeal, the PowerFlex suspension spring undergoes several specialized processes to enhance its functionality, such as shot peening, presetting, and powder coating.

The spring is expertly engineered with a progressive design that significantly boosts its performance. It features variable pitch with certain coils absorbing minor bumps while others activate only to absorb larger forces such as potholes and off-road terrain. This design progressively increases the spring rate as it compresses, allowing the spring to handle transitions in terrain smoothly. This innovative design makes for a smoother ride and reinforces its durability.

When asked why he chose Newcomb Spring over the other spring companies he contacted, Kevin explained how the team at our Texas facility was more than willing to work with him when other spring makers were not.

“It’s my design! No other springs out there perform as well as these now. It is a unique spring only for my business and nobody can replicate that. Our customers love them!” exclaims Kevin. He sells the PowerFlex suspension springs at his company, Muddy Bottom Mini Trucks.

“Many engineers don’t contact us until it’s too late and they’ve backed themselves into a corner. We want to be at the forefront of the design, so we can work together to create a spring that will function best for your unique design.” Cricket states. When it comes to spring design, timing matters, waiting until the end of a project to address spring specifications can lead to costly setbacks. At Newcomb, we encourage proactive collaboration from the start.
