Thank you for writing to us, Nishi!
For flat springs, the spring constant changes slightly with changes in load. As you said, it is obviously different for the two-stage flat springs (with auxiliary springs).

Question Nishi 2007/11/28(Wed) 11:21

I have a question about flat springs used for cars. Does the spring constant of the flat springs not change with changes in load? The spring constant of the two-stage flat springs (with auxiliary springs) obviously change, right?
