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 ...

This module introduces a setup for calculating the Spring Constant using Hooke’s Law. In this setup, the Raspberry Pi is interfaced with an Ultrasonic Sensor to estimate the spring constant. Since, ...

Most people probably don’t think about springs until one kinks up or snaps, but most of the world’s springs are pretty crucial. The ones that aren’t go by the name Slinky. We all use and encounter ...

A spring-energized mechanical seal refers to the force used to maintain the seal face and the mating ring in close contact, which is supplied by a mechanical spring device. This device can be a wave ...

Introduction Have you ever played with a Slinky, used a pinball machine, written with a click pen or ridden in a car? If so, then you have made use of a spring! Springs are in machines all around us ...
