Conclusions
The spring parallelogram should be computed for accuracy by taking into consideration the actual loading conditions of the moving carriage. It is possible, by analyzing all the factors affecting the slope angle of the carriage within its working movement range, to establish certain optimum design requirements with respect to the components of the spring parallelogram.
Above we indicate the possibility of applying the technique of [11] to the computation of spring guides. The distinguishing feature of this computation consists in the requirements of taking into consideration the strength and power indices of the device.
