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:

Common Uses

Energy Storage: Store mechanical energy for later use.
Positioning: Hold components in place.
Shock Absorption: Mitigate shocks and filter vibrations.
Force Control: Regulate force in various applications.
Aesthetic Appeal: Provide a clean, finished look.

Industries

Automotive: Vehicles and parts.
Aeronautics: Aircraft components.
Electronics: Gadgets and devices.
Medical Device Springs: Tools and machinery.
Industrial Equipment: Heavy machinery.
Manufacturing Goods: Toys, musical instruments etc.
Mining and Drilling: Extraction equipment.
Precision Instruments: Fine measurement tools.

Spring Material

Compression springs are made from various materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, phosphor bronze, and nickel alloys. The material chosen depends on the specific design requirements.

Factors to Consider When Selecting Spring Material

Space Limitations
Force/Pressure Requirements
Movement/Deflection
Environmental Conditions (e.g., marine, indoor)
Fatigue Requirements
Conductivity Needs

Purchasing Compression Springs

When buying, consider the following factors:

Volume/Quantity: Order size.
Material/Finish: Options include carbon steel, stainless steel wire, and bright zinc plating.
Stock vs. Custom Springs: Off-the-shelf or bespoke solutions.
Availability: Lead times.
Cost: Budget considerations.
Application: Specific use cases.

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.
