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 ...

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, ...

The night before had been trivia night. “Tons of college kids come out for trivia night,” Aaron Nafziger says on a recent Wednesday afternoon, sitting bench-side against the wall of Constant Spring, ...

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 ...

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, ...
