Compression Springs 

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. Coil Springs Direct are the only supplier of Entex™™ Compression Springs and has 40 years of industry experience for expert advice and design.

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. We supply many types of compression springs, 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.

Compression 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.
