2. Spring (device) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_(device)

   Helical coil springs designed for tension A heavy-duty coil spring designed for compression and tension The English longbow – a simple but very powerful spring made of yew, measuring 2 m (6 ft 7 in) long, with a 470 N (105 lbf) draw weight, with each limb functionally a cantilever spring. Force (F) vs extension (s).

3. Coil spring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coil_spring

   Metal coil springs are made by winding a wire around a shaped former – a cylinder is used to form cylindrical coil springs. Illustration of various arc springs and arc spring systems (systems consisting of inner and outer arc springs). Coil springs for vehicles are typically made of hardened steel. A machine called an auto-coiler takes spring ...

4. Shock absorber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_absorber

   Spring-based shock absorbers commonly use coil springs or leaf springs, though torsion bars are used in torsional shocks as well. Ideal springs alone, however, are not shock absorbers, as springs only store and do not dissipate or absorb energy. Vehicles typically employ both hydraulic shock absorbers and springs or torsion bars. In this ...

   why coil springs are always circular in shape —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.212.170.226 11:53, 5 October 2010 (UTC) Because that equalises the stresses in the wire. Greglocock 23:43, 6 October 2010 (UTC) They don't always have a circular cross-section; die springs use a square cross-section.

6. Belleville washer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belleville_washer

   The downside, though, is weight, and they are severely travel limited compared to a conventional coil spring when free length is not an issue. A wave washer also acts as a spring, but wave washers of comparable size do not produce as much force as Belleville washers, nor can they be stacked in series.

7. Arc spring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_spring

   The arc spring (also known as - bow spring, curved spring, circular spring or "banana" spring) is a special form of coil spring which was originally developed for use in the dual-mass flywheel of internal combustion engine drive trains. The term "arc spring" is used to describe pre-curved or arc-shaped helical compression springs.

9. Volute spring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volute_spring

   A volute spring, also known as a conical spring, is a compression spring in the form of a cone (somewhat like the classical volute decorative architectural ornament). Under compression, the coils slide past each other, thus enabling the spring to be compressed to a very short length in comparison with what would be possible with a more conventional helical spring.
