spring rate


Explanation:
Could it be "spring rate"? see reference. Can also be "fjærvei" of course, but I couldn't find a definition for that, either. Extract from Wikipedia ref:
"When a spring is compressed or stretched, the force it exerts is proportional to its change in length. The rate or spring constant of a spring is the change in the force it exerts, divided by the change in deflection of the spring. That is, it is the gradient of the force versus deflection curve. An extension or compression spring has units of force divided by distance, for example lbf/in or N/m. Torsion springs have units of force multiplied by distance divided by angle, such as N·m/rad or ft·lbf/degree. The inverse of spring rate is compliance, that is: if a spring has a rate of 10 N/mm, it has a compliance of 0.1 mm/N."

spring deflection


Explanation:
deflection = sammantryckning av fjädern under en given last
travel = maximal möjlig sammantryckning av fjädern (dvs. innan spiralen "går ihop")
