Quick answer: Provide force targets or allowable bands at defined positions, together with travel direction and the functional reason for the curve.
How should a desired variable-force curve be supplied?
A request for increasing force leaves the required shape undefined. Two curves can share endpoints yet differ substantially in the middle. Identify the positions where the mechanism must perform a specific function and distinguish required values from preferred behavior.
A practical verification method
Compare samples against the complete position table and retain the measured trace between the specified points.
| Item | What to record | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Reference configuration | Part or assembly identity and drawing revision | Make comparisons traceable |
| Test conditions | Relevant position, direction and operating condition | Compare the same characteristic |
| Decision evidence | Compare samples against the complete position table and retain the measured trace between the specified points. | Resolve the specific question before approval |
Use the result in an engineering request
Describe the observed condition and the required function separately. Include the relevant drawing revision and your results from the check above. If an acceptance limit has not been established, identify it as an open design input rather than treating a successful trial as approval.
