Spring Tracking Changes After Transport
Check packaging damage, attachment movement and changes to shaft or housing alignment.
Check packaging damage, attachment movement and changes to shaft or housing alignment.
Inspect the mating slot or hook feature, actual engagement, load direction and motion history.
Use identified springs across identified assemblies so the comparison can distinguish part effects from housing effects.
Compare bend locations, exit angles and cumulative guide resistance with the original path.
A repeatable disturbance related to shaft angle warrants a concentricity and contact review.
The fixture may introduce off-axis loads or measure only a component of the intended force. Align and define the force path.
