Compression Springs
Helical Compression springs are typically the most common type of spring. Compression springs are designed to have an axial force placed on them and then can return to their original position once the force is released. Compression springs are in fact one of the most efficient energy storage devices available.
Coiling Technologies, Inc. designs and manufactures helical springs and other compression springs that meet your exacting specifications and perform in the most demanding and challenging industrial applications.
Custom Compression Spring Manufacturer
Coiling Technologies, Inc., engineers can provide expert design advice to assist you with your spring requirements CTI’s expert craftsman manufactures compression springs custom-manufactured to meet your specifications and requirements with little or no compromise.
To create a custom compression spring you need, our experts work closely with you to:
- Assess operating conditions, functional service life, and specific load requirements
- Determine physical dimensions, shape, and size
- Select the proper material for the application
- Create a spring design, including ends such as closed and ground, open, squared, tangential or pigtail ends, or a combination of both.
Compression Spring Shape
Compression springs can be manufactured in numerous shapes. Depending on the shape, helical springs react differently when stress, force, or load is placed upon them.
Helical Compression is the most common spring configuration, but compression springs also can be formed into a variety of shapes and sizes:
Spring Shapes:
- Barrel
- Conical
- Hourglass
Wire Shapes:
- Ovate
- Rectangular
- Square
Size
