Storing energy as it is compressed or extended, this spring provides the return or tension force in the mechanism it was fitted to, pushing back to reset a linkage, hold tension on a moving part, or return a control to its rest position. As a fatigue part it loses free length and rate over enough cycles, showing up as slack or a control that no longer returns.
Storing energy as it is compressed or extended, this spring provides the return or tension force in the mechanism it was fitted to, pushing back to reset a linkage, hold tension on a moving part, or return a control to its rest position. A spring is a fatigue part: after enough cycles it loses free length and rate, and a weak or broken spring shows up as slack in the mechanism, a control that no longer returns, or a part that no longer holds position. Match the free length, wire diameter, and end style to the spring being replaced, since a spring of the wrong rate will not hold or return the mechanism the way the original did.
