Compression Spring Introduction
Compression Spring is open-coil helical spring constructed to oppose compression along the axis. Compression Springs are the most common springs used. Generally, they are either wound over a rod or fitted inside a hole. When load is applied on this spring, it is compressed, it pushes back against the load and tries to get back to its original position. Compression springs offer resistance to linear compressing forces (push), and are also known as one of the most efficient energy storage devices.
Configurations : Most common compression springs are straight springs which has the same diameter for the entire length. The straight coil configuration is the standard coil type for Stock Compression Springs. Other configuration options for compression springs include concave, conical and convex types.
Our springs are available in two types closed end and ground ends. Ground ends provide flat planes and stability. Squareness influences how the axis force produced by the spring can be transferred to adjacent parts. Although open ends may be suitable in some applications, closed ends afford a greater degree of squareness. ground end compression springs are particularly used where
* high-duty springs are specified
* unusually close tolerances on load or rate are needed
* solid height must be minimized,
* accurate seating and uniform bearing pressures are required and
* a tendency towards buckling must be reduced.
