2. Spring (device) - Wikipedia

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

   Springs can be classified depending on how the load force is applied to them: Tension/extension spring The spring is designed to operate with a tension load, so the spring stretches as the load is applied to it. Compression spring Designed to operate with a compression load, so the spring gets shorter as the load is applied to it. Torsion spring

3. 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.

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. Belleville washer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belleville_washer

   In a spring-stack, disc springs can be stacked in the same or in an alternating orientation and of course it is possible to stack packets of multiple springs stacked in the same direction. Disc springs have a number of advantageous properties compared to other types of springs: [4] Very large loads can be supported with a small installation space,

6. 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.

7. 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.
