I grabbed the following data trends from Vulcan Springs. (major supplier of many different springs available)
In regards to the following trend, they are saying that your peak load hits around a small to moderate deflection with their constant force springs. Now later down the road, I'm sure we can test some springs out and make sure it accurately matches the trend.
What I tried to mention above before is that you will get your max load but under a certain amount of deflection as you can see here. (I should have posted this initially)
I hope that clears the air a bit on them.
