Technical Notes
The springs should be installed with pre-tension to avoid shock loads
Sufficient guidance is required to avoid cross-springing
The life-span of individual springs may be maximized by installing a large number of springs and not exceeding the stated range and load applied to the spring
The maximum operating temperature is 200°C
