Spring Knowledge for Custom Mechanisms
Start with the motion your mechanism needs. These engineering notes explain spring terminology, application considerations and how to prepare a non-confidential enquiry. They do not establish qualification for a particular device or guarantee an assembly outcome.
Spring selection and terminology
Distinguish linear pull from rotary torque before choosing a spring family.
