What are different kinds of springs?

There are three different kinds of springs.

1. Closed coil helical springs - Helical springs, in which wire is wrapped in a coil, are the most common springs. Closed coil helical springs can be designed to push, pull, or carry loads.

Equivalent springs - Equvalent springs are springs that replace combinations of springs - which can be springs in parallel, or springs in series.

Laminated springs - Laminated springs are semi elliptical springs, also known as leaf springs.

What are different kinds of loads that act on helical springs?

A closed coil helical spring can be subjected to two kinds of loads - Axial loads and Axial twists.

What are equivalent springs?

Equivalent springs are springs that replace combination springs. There are two kinds of combination springs - springs in series, and springs in parallel.

What are laminated springs commonly used for?

Laminated springs, also know as semi elliptical springs and leaf springs, are commonly used for the suspension in wheeled vehicles.
