Hi All,

I am working on designing a flat plate spring with a setup as shown in the attachment. My design intent is to have a indicator in the center which would move to a certain position on the application of 200lb of load. I would be using webbing to pull the spring steel piece on both sides. Is this design even possible? Can this be achieved using a flat spring steel plate?
