Key Features:

• Coiled, helical springs that resist a compressive force applied axially
• The spring is wound in a parallel helix usually out of round wire
• Available in conical, barrel, hourglass, constant pitch, variable pitch designs
• Compression springs can be manufactured to very tight tolerances, thus allowing the spring to precisely fit in a hole or around a shaft
• Compression springs can be made from non-magnetic spring material like Phosphor Bronze or Beryllium Copper as well as music wire (high carbon steel) stainless steel and various other types of spring wire
• A digital load tester can be used to accurately measure specific load points in your spring

Suitable Uses:

• Designed for ‘push’ applications, returning back to its original size
• Typical applications include; automotive, aerospace and consumer products
• Offers resistance to linear compressing forces (push) that are in fact one of the most efficient energy storage devices available
• Applications include; battery remotes, cars, locks, pens and hundreds of other uses
• Also suitable for high temperature applications that can reach up to 600°C
