Compression Spring Applications

Description

Compression springs are wire mechanical devices in the shape of a helix. They are used to store or release energy, absorb shock, or maintain a force between two surfaces and are one of the most efficient energy storage devices available. The spring is at rest when extended and stored with energy when a load is applied and shortened or compressed.

Application

Compression springs are ideal for various applications, including but not limited to:

  • Schock absorption
  • Energy storage
  • Applying force
  • Maintaining mechanical positioning
  • Creating electrical contact

Features

Our compression springs are available in diameters ranging from approximately .005’ to .196”.

We utilize a spring-end grinding machine to ensure your compression springs achieve the specified dimensions while maintaining a uniform surface finish.
