Customized Compression Springs

A compression spring can be defined as a open coil helical spring which can provide resistance against the compressive force which is applied axially. Compression springs are generally coiled at constant diameter as well as they are coiled in various forms according to the requirement like convex, concave and conical etc. They can be used for resisting compressive force or for storing energy.

Engineers incorporate compression springs in motion designs that need linear compressive forces and mechanical energy storage — designs such as pneumatic cylinders and push-button controls, for example. The most conventional compression spring is a round metallic wire coiled into a helical form.

Although open ends may be suitable in some applications, closed ends afford a greater degree of squareness.

Squared and ground end compression springs are useful for applications that specify high-duty springs; unusually close tolerances on load or rate; minimized solid height; accurate seating and uniform bearing pressures; and minimized buckling.
