I have a problem, trying to buy springs for a project I'm working on at work. I'm stuck and confused and hope someone can help.
Sorry the picture is really tiny.
So here is the problem, I have a stationary plate at the top. This plate has two rods going down into the table to keep both the plates aliened. The second plate is 8lbs and moves freely with the springs. I need two extension springs to hold up the plate, but also need to be able to move the plate down by 1.5 inches by hand.
If anyone can please help me understand what I need for the Initial Tension, Wire Diameter, and Spring OD.
Thank you for the help.
