Abstract
A well tool may include a slip disposed about a mandrel and a plurality of individual wedge sections axially arranged adjacent one another between the mandrel and the slip. In at least one example, a gap is defined between adjacent wedge sections allowing a range of axial movement of one wedge section toward the other. A compliant member is disposed between the adjacent wedge sections resisting movement of the one toward the other. The compliant members may have different sizes and configurations to selectively yield at different axial loads, so that the wedge sections progressively load the slip.
