A soft spring, also known as a compression spring with low stiffness.
A soft spring is a mechanical component designed to compress easily
under a small amount of force. It’s typically used when:
Minimal force is needed to return a component to its position.
Smooth or sensitive actuation is required
Space is limited, and flexibility is important
Features of the Spring in the Image:
Thin wire diameter → indicates low spring rate (softness)
Open-coil structure → allows greater compression distance
Made of stainless steel or spring steel (anti-corrosive)
Likely manually reshaped or slightly deformed
