A spring will only have the right force in one spot, it will be too high or too low everywhere else. A pulley and weight can be exactly balanced at all times. But doubles the mass to be moved, so actually reduces peak acceleration. The ideal is probably a pneumatic strut with a relieving regulator. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find and fix application performance issues faster with Applications Manager Applications Manager provides deep performance insights into multiple tiers of your business applications.
