A spring can be built to properly maintain tension. just like motorcycle
springs, where you have springs inside of springs (coils with inner
coils). The higher end springs for racing maintain almost constant
tension so the bike tracks the same no matter what.


Maintaining constant tension is not the problem, as you said this has
been acomplished in the transportation industry.

The trick is to have a spring maintain constant tension with limitless
possible initial settings.









If the blade tension spring is properly designed, it should compensate
for the blade length changing as the blade heats and cools.

Can you name a brand that has a properly designed tension spring? Not
the case on my Laguna LT16HD.

And since tension is increased with the compression of the tension
spring, how would a properly designed spring maintain the proper tension
as it decompresses when the blade stretches?
