Since the degree of deformation by load can be corrected sensitively or insensitively for non-linear springs, you can be creative with how they are utilized. This volume introduces representative examples of such springs with non-linear characteristics. For details on how to design various springs introduced here, refer to books, such as "Design, Manufacture & Testing Methods of Springs" edited by the Japan Society of Spring Engineers and published by Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun, Ltd.

Application examples

• Suspension springs for jigs compatible with multiple models in varying load weight
• Adjustment springs for inspection jigs involving manual labor
• Auxiliary springs for weight reduction of parts such as covers
• Compression springs designed to open/close a clamp quickly
