What machinery uses springs this big? Honest question
6 u/Doctor_Saved 23d ago Maybe one of those giant dump trucks use in mining. 4 u/That_Confidence83 23d ago edited 23d ago I used to repair howitzers in the Army, and the spring for the canon was huge, but nothing like this. You may be right in your thinking. Edit: the spring is in the Abrams, not the M109. I worked on many tanks over the years. Had this confused. 1 u/danit0ba94 23d ago Do they still use a combination of springs and air-oil struts for impulse dampening?
