Compression Springs from Coil Springs Direct

Compression springs are a common and affordable way to store energy as elastic strain and release it when necessary. Compression springs can be used in many settings due to their highly elastic and corrosion-resistant materials.

How Do Compression Springs Work?

Compression springs operate by twisting their wire around a spiral, causing a linear axial deflection. This twisting stresses the wire and is essential for its operation.

Applications

Manufacturers widely use compression springs as they are robust, easy to assemble and cost-effective. They come in many shapes and sizes, including cylindrical, conical, barrel, hourglass and helical compression springs. This allows them to meet many requirements related to force, fatigue, environment, size, and cost.

Many industries use compression springs in various applications, including:

Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is a compression spring?

A compression spring is a mechanical device designed to resist compressive forces and store energy when compressed. Typically made from coiled wire, it returns to its original shape when the force is removed, making it ideal for applications like suspensions, valves, and shock absorption systems.

 

What is the purpose of a spring compressor?

A spring compressor is a specialised tool used to safely compress and hold springs during installation or removal, particularly in automotive suspensions. Its purpose is to prevent accidents by securely holding the spring under tension, making maintenance and repairs more efficient and safe.

 

What is the difference between a pressure spring and a compression spring?

A compression spring is designed to resist compressive forces, storing energy as it is compressed and returning to its original shape when the force is removed. A pressure spring, often a type of compression spring, specifically handles high-pressure applications, offering enhanced durability and performance under intense loads.
