Progressive Titanium Suspension Springs
We are working at developing progressive titanium suspension springs for use on some of the top Formula 1 cars. These springs are designed for use on both the front and rear suspension systems. Formula 1 race cars are recognized as being on the cutting edge of racing technology.

Small Titanium Suspension Springs
RCS is in the process of bringing UPG titanium springs to the RC car market. Just because the cars are small does not mean that they should not benefit from all the advantages that titanium springs offer to other larger suspension systems. Some of these benefits include lighter weight, higher natural frequency, better traction, plus they are just plain COOL

Motorcycle Clutch Springs
Today's high tech motorcycle clutch generates a large amount of heat. Even though the clutch is in an oil bath the springs can see temperatures in excess of 300°. Since the spring is retained under compression at these elevated temperatures, the current steel springs can begin to take set, thus loosing load. RCS is currently working with a prominent clutch manufacturer and American Honda to deal with this and other inherent problems with springs in the clutch.

Super Steel Alloys
RCS has been working with newly developed super-alloys to determine their potential as the next generation of spring steel. These new materials are very high tensile (over 300ksi), magnetic, ductile, great heat resistance (up to 700° F), and have a lower modulus than most carbon steel alloys. In short, these new materials have the potential to extend the capability of spring design. We are currently testing these materials in very limited applications.

Gun Clip Springs
With our soldiers in harms way, it is imperative that they can depend on their equipment. The current magazine clips they use have an inherent problem, of taking set when the clip is left loaded with rounds of ammunition. We are working on developing new springs that will help eliminate this concern.
