Compression Spring

Compression springs are open-coil helical springs that offer resistance to a compressive force applied axially. Helical compression springs are used to resist applied compression forces or to store energy in a push mode. Compression springs are most commonly used in engineering, tools, automotives, aerospace and consumer applications. Compression springs come in a variety of types such as Conical, Barrel, Hourglass and Cylindrical shapes.

• Wire Selection: round, square or special-section, round being the most adaptable.
• Compression Spring Mandatory Specification: the functional design characteristics.
• Compression Spring Secondary Specification: which is useful for reference and been considered as advisory data.
• Dimensional Limits: governed by the pitch allotted with regard to allowable solid height, outer and inner diameters.
• Stress Level: determined by the dimensional limits together with the load and deflection requirements. Our compression springs are stress-relieved to remove residual bending stresses produced by the coiling operation.
