In a lot of industries and in a lot of products, mostly the smaller types of leaf springs are used in a multitude of variations. The main advantage of a leaf spring is that it has little or no leeway of friction. This makes a very high position precision and longevity possible. Another advantage of a leaf spring is the high stiffness in the length when compared to the stiffness in the cross section. This maintains freedom of movement.
