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, ...

• Stock springs are generally intended for prototyping, and their use in production can compromise designs. • Experts recommend discussing specific design requirements with a spring manufacturer. The ...

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 ...
