2. 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 ...

3. Twist-beam rear suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twist-beam_rear_suspension

   The coil springs usually bear on a pad alongside the stub-axle. Often, the shock is collinear with the spring forming a coil-over. In many cases, the damper is also used as a restraint strap to stop the arm descending so far that the coil spring falls out through being completely unloaded.

4. Air brake (road vehicle) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_brake_(road_vehicle)

   Truck air-actuated disc brake. An air brake or, more formally, a compressed-air-brake system, is a type of friction brake for vehicles in which compressed air pressing on a piston is used to both release the parking/emergency brakes in order to move the vehicle, and also to apply pressure to the brake pads or brake shoes to slow and stop the vehicle.

5. Air suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_suspension

   The metal spring (coil or leaf) is removed, and an air bag, also referred to as an air spring, is inserted or fabricated to fit in the place of the factory spring. When air pressure is supplied to the air bag, the suspension can be adjusted either up or down (lifted or lowered).

6. Spring (device) - Wikipedia

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

   Coil spring Also known as a helical spring. 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.

7. Coilover - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coilover

   Preload is the pressure exerted on a spring over the distance it is compressed. A higher preload means a stiffer spring and a lower preload results in a softer spring with more travel. This is true if the coilover uses progressive springs. On coilovers with linear springs preload has no effect on spring rate.

9. Pneumatic valve springs - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_valve_springs

   Pneumatic valve springs are metal bellows filled with compressed air [1] used as an alternative to the metal wire springs used to close valves in high-speed internal combustion engines. This system was introduced in Formula One in 1986 with the Renault EF-Type .
