The \u201cfree length\u201d is the length of a spring with no load applied. \u201cLength before set\u201d can be thought of as near the maximum compressed length of a spring (let\u2019s refer to this as the compressed length). The number of coils also plays a role in determining the strength of a spring. Generally speaking, the more coils a spring has the more powerful it is. However, the material that is used for producing the spring and the corresponding heat treatment process are even more critical.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There has been a myth around saying that a very long spring is needed for delivering higher FPS.
