COIL SPRING
A coil spring is a helical-shaped mechanical device that is close-wound or open-wound. Coil springs store mechanical potential energy and subsequently release it, to absorb shock, or to maintain a force between contacting surfaces.
LEAF SPRING
Leaf springs are a type of suspension component found in many vehicles, including cars, trucks, and semi-trucks, trailer and buses. They are made up of several metal plates, or leaves, that are stacked on top of one another and attached to the frame of the vehicle at one end and to the axles at the other end. The leaves are flexible, and as the vehicle moves, they compress and expand, allowing the wheels to move up and down to absorb shock and maintain contact with the ground.There are two main types of leaf springs: single-leaf and multi-leaf. Single-leaf springs are made up of a single, long leaf that is more flexible than a multi-leaf spring. They are typically used in smaller vehicles, such as compact cars, because they are lighter and cheaper to produce. Multi-leaf springs, on the other hand, are made up of several leaves that are held together by metal clips. They are stronger and more durable than single-leaf springs, and are often used in larger vehicles, such as trucks and buses, where more load-carrying capacity is required.Leaf springs are an important component of the suspension system, as they help to absorb shock and maintain stability and control. They are also used to support the weight of the vehicle and its payload, and to transfer power from the drivetrain to the wheels. In some vehicles, leaf springs may be used in conjunction with other suspension components, such as shocks or air springs, to provide a more comfortable ride and improve handling.
