If you are designing a product that requires any sort of smart-motion precision, spring parts that apply constant force or constant resistance are key mechanical design elements to consider. Two of ...

The mass is just sitting there motionless. There is no acceleration and it is in equilibrium. What does this mean? This means that the net force in the y-direction (vertical direction) must be zero. I ...

Spring-loaded plungers use a spring and a plunger (or ball tip) to exert a precise and repeatable force. They are a better option than having engineers cobble together an assembly that uses a simple, ...

Spring clips use compressive spring force to secure assembly components. The clips come in many shapes and sizes to accommodate a variety of plastic and die-cast parts. U-shaped clips are used to ...
