2. Torsion bar suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_bar_suspension

   Torsion bar suspension inside Leopard 2 Schematic of a front axle highlighted to show torsion bar. A torsion bar suspension, also known as a torsion spring suspension, is any vehicle suspension that uses a torsion bar as its main weight-bearing spring. One end of a long metal bar is attached firmly to the vehicle chassis; the opposite end ...

3. Torsion spring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_spring

   Small, coiled torsion springs are often used to operate pop-up doors found on small consumer goods like digital cameras and compact disc players. Other more specific uses: A torsion bar suspension is a thick, steel torsion-bar spring attached to the body of a vehicle at one end and to a lever arm which attaches to the axle of the wheel at the ...

4. Spring (device) - Wikipedia

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

   A torsion spring is a spring that works by twisting; when it is twisted about its axis by an angle, it produces a torque proportional to the angle. A torsion spring's rate is in units of torque divided by angle, such as N·m/rad or ft·lbf/degree. The inverse of spring rate is compliance, that is: if a spring has a rate of 10 N/mm, it has a ...

5. Series and parallel springs - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_springs

   The following table gives formula for the spring that is equivalent to a system of two springs, in series or in parallel, whose spring constants are and . [1] The compliance c {\displaystyle c} of a spring is the reciprocal 1 / k {\displaystyle 1/k} of its spring constant.)

6. Twist-beam rear suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twist-beam_rear_suspension

   The twist-beam rear suspension (also torsion-beam axle, deformable torsion beam, or compound crank) is a type of automobile suspension based on a large H- or C-shaped member. The front of the H attaches to the body via rubber bushings , and the rear of the H carries each stub-axle assembly, on each side of the car.

7. Balance spring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_spring

   The balance spring is a fine spiral or helical torsion spring used in mechanical watches, alarm clocks, kitchen timers, marine chronometers, and other timekeeping mechanisms to control the rate of oscillation of the balance wheel. The balance spring is an essential adjunct to the balance wheel, causing it to oscillate back and forth.
