  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. 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.

  4. Coil spring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coil_spring

    Types of coil spring are: Tension/extension coil springs, designed to resist stretching. They usually have a hook or eye form at each end for attachment. Compression coil springs, designed to resist being compressed. A typical use for compression coil springs is in car suspension systems. Volute springs are used as heavy load compression ...

  5. Belleville washer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belleville_washer

    Belleville washer. A Belleville washer, also known as a coned-disc spring, [1] conical spring washer, [2] disc spring, Belleville spring or cupped spring washer, is a conical shell which can be loaded along its axis either statically or dynamically.

  6. Drawing (manufacturing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drawing_(manufacturing)

    Diagram of bar drawing; the workpiece is pulled from left (tension) rather than pushed from the right (compression). Drawing is a manufacturing process that uses tensile forces to elongate metal, glass, or plastic. As the material is drawn (pulled), it stretches and becomes thinner, achieving a desired shape and thickness.

  7. 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.

  8. Variable force solenoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_force_solenoid

    In the steady-state condition, the typical VFS design intent is to control pressure by balancing three axial forces: A spring force due to spring compression by valve position; A magnetic force primarily due to regulated current through the solenoid coil; A pressure force due controlled flow areas and supply pressure, often called line pressure

  9. Linear compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_compressor

    The suspension spring can be flexure type or coil type. An oil-free valved linear compressor enables the design of compact heat exchangers. [1] Linear compressors work similarly to a solenoid: by using a spring-loaded piston with an electromagnet connected to AC through a diode. The spring-loaded piston is the only moving part, and it is placed ...
