2. Garter spring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garter_spring

   A garter spring inside a rubber seal. A garter spring is a coiled steel spring that is connected at each end to create a circular shape, and is used in oil seals, shaft seals, belt-driven motors, and electrical connectors. Compression garter springs exert outward radial forces, while extension garter springs exert inward radial forces.

3. Spring (device) - Wikipedia

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

   A spring (made by winding a wire around a cylinder) is of two types: Tension or extension springs are designed to become longer under load. Their turns (loops) are normally touching in the unloaded position, and they have a hook, eye or some other means of attachment at each end. Compression springs are designed to become shorter when loaded ...

4. Coil spring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coil_spring

   Coil springs are commonly used in vehicle suspension. These springs are compression springs and can differ greatly in strength and in size depending on application. A coil spring suspension can be stiff to soft depending on the vehicle it is used on. Coil spring can be either mounted with a shock absorber or mounted separately.

5. Hooke's law - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooke's_law

   In physics, Hooke's law is an empirical law which states that the force (F) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance (x) scales linearly with respect to that distance—that is, F s = kx, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring (i.e., its stiffness), and x is small compared to the total possible deformation of the spring.

6. Compression seal fitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_seal_fitting

   The soft sealant (a solid rubber-like component, not a liquid or paste), which surrounds the elements being sealed, and when compressed by axial force creates a hermetic seal. The continuous tension in the torqued body acts like a spring to maintain compression on the sealant and maintain a positive seal.
