Compression Springs

These are the most common type of spring and are designed to create resistance to a compressive force. We manufacture and stock top quality springs at very competitive prices. From 'one-offs' to production runs of millions, our company philosophy is that no order is too small or too large.

Compression Springs Types

Compression springs come in a variety of types including:

• Conical
• Barrel
• Hourglass
• Cylindrical shapes

Compression springs may have a constant or progressive spacing between the coils.

Grinding

Compression spring ends are often ground to increase operational life and to allow the spring to sit squarely on the load-bearing surface. Grinding also increases the number of active coils and the wire diameter available in a given volume of space, which can result in higher loads or lower stresses.
