Compression Springs .005″ – .320

Compression springs are an open-coil helical spring that offers resistance to a compressive force applied axially. Compression springs are usually coiled as a constant diameter-cylinder. Other common forms of compression springs such as conical, concave, (barrel,) convex (hourglass) or various combinations of these are used as required by the application. While square, rectangular or special-section wire may have to be specified, round wire is predominant in compression springs because it is readily available and adaptable to standard coiler tooling. Compression springs should be stress-relieved to remove residual forming stresses produced by the coiling operation. Advanex Americas can produce compression springs with wire diameters of .005″ – .320″ in a variety of materials and specifications.
