Tension Spring Loads at Length Explained: What They Mean and Why They Matter
Loads at length define the force a tension spring produces when stretched to a specific length. Unlike compression springs, tension springs are designed to work in extension and include an initial preload that must be overcome before any movement occurs. Loads at length provide a clear and practical way to specify real working performance. What Are Loads at Length [...]
Torsion Spring End Types Explained: Fit, Function and Best Practice
Torsion springs store energy by twisting and produce torque in response to rotational movement. The ends of a torsion spring, often called legs, are critical to how the spring mounts and how torque is transferred into the assembly. The shape, angle and length of the ends directly affect fit, performance and service life. Straight Leg Ends Straight legs extend [...]
