What is Retraction during Force?

Retraction during force refers to the action of pulling back or withdrawing an object while applying a force. In mechanical systems, it often involves reducing the extension of a component, such as a piston, actuator, or spring, against an opposing force. Retraction is used to return a part to its original position or to reverse motion after extension. It is common in hydraulic or pneumatic systems, where retraction force helps control movement, maintain tension, or reset mechanisms. Retraction is essential for applications that require precise control of motion and force management.
