How does a spring pipe support work?

In a variable spring pipe support, the spring works under the basicprincipal that the pipe movement will be accommodated by a compression ordecompression of the spring coil. The amount of pipe movement will determine,along with the stiffness of that spring support, how much of a load differenceis seen between our initial position and our final position. In a constantspring support, the spring works in connection with an intergral cam mechanismto allow pipe deflection during its operating cycle without changing the forceor the load seen at the pipe connection point.
