Step 4: Constant Force Spring 1

Constant force springs are a variety of extension springs. A strip of steel with a preset curvature is coiled tightly so that each turn of the strip rests on its inner neighbor. The spring is actuated in a pulling, linear motion with the deflection resistance originating from the material's stiffness and spring construction.
