Spring Selection for Aerospace Equipment

Springs are vital to the aerospace industry. Without springs, we would not have the basic elements of aerospace.
For example, retractable tray tables, trunk doors, armrests, stairs, and cup holders require springs to function.
They help open and close many components that would not exist without them.
Part of the reason springs are important in aerospace is that they are highly resistant to compression.
Aircraft need strong and durable components that do not require frequent maintenance, upgrades, or replacements, but are also very precise.
Constant force springs, an alternative to traditional gas or coil springs, are well suited for use in aerospace equipment.
Engineers have a variety of options for balancing the force of gravity in motion control mechanisms for aviation equipment.
Traditionally, coil springs are used to secure aircraft seats, entry doors, and cargo doors.
However, constant force springs require less space, provide greater flexibility, and offer a longer service life.
