Compression Spring
Use
Description
Compression springs are open spiral, they compress and store energy in the form of thrust. They can be of uniform or variable pitch depending on the needs of the application or use that is required. The base also increases the number of active coils and the available wire diameter in a given volume of space, which can result in higher loads or lower tension. Other configuration options for compression springs are hourglass (concave), conical and barrel (convex). The straight coil configuration is the standard type of Compression Springs.
It is applied in clutch baskets, food fillers, plow harrows, screens, air conditioning chillers, automobile spirals, automobile suspension, sugar mill cane mills and other applications. They can be cylindrical, conical, biconical, fixed or changing pitch.
