Compression Springs
Compression springs, also known as coil springs, are mechanical components with an open-coiled helical design. These springs efficiently store and release energy when subjected to compressive forces. Their primary function is to absorb shock, maintain force equilibrium, and provide resilience in various mechanical systems.
We make compression springs from Wire diameter 0.1 mm to 12.5 mm.
How Do They Work?
When a compressive load is applied axially, these helical springs resist the force by compressing or
squeezing. As the load is removed, the stored potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy,
causing the spring to return to its original, uncompressed state.
Types of Compression Springs:
Compression springs come in various shapes and sizes to meet specific requirements. Here are five common
types:
1. Convex Springs:
o Outward bulging or dome shape
o Ideal for applications requiring high force.
o Used in medical equipment, electrical switches, and precision instruments.
2. Concave Springs (Hourglass Springs):
o Narrow in the middle, widening towards the ends.
o Suitable for tight tolerance applications
o Helps limit variance in spring deflection.
3. Conical Springs (Tapered Springs):
o Cone-shaped design with gradually increasing diameter.
o Efficient energy storage and compressive force application
