Compliant constant‐force mechanisms represent an innovative class of devices engineered to provide a near‐invariable output force over a defined range of motion. By exploiting the elastic deformation ...

Your everyday notion of forces probably includes pushing and pulling and similar actions. Technically, when something is pushed or pulled we say that "a force is applied to the object". What happens ...

Given a particle in Euclidean space, a central force is a force that points toward or away from the origin and depends only on the particle’s distance from the origin. If the particle’s position at ...

Once the required magnetic force is defined, scaling up production with a constant magnetic force separation device becomes a rather straightforward task. After validating the magnetic force at a ...

Smooth motion is key to precision; Here are some tips on how to get it. Precision-positioning systems used for metrology, inspection, printing, DNA assaying, and laser machining are typified by a need ...

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 ...

Constant Force Springs from Lee Spring offer an excellent mechanism for applications where a constant load is required. Some of the many applications of constant force springs are in counterbalances, ...
