Compression Springs: Introduction and Applications

How to Choose a Compression Spring?

When selecting a compression spring, consider the following factors:

  1. Load Requirements:Determine the required force range and compression travel to ensure the spring meets the application's needs.

  2. Material Selection:Choose materials based on the working environment. Consider corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and fatigue resistance. Common materials include carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel.

  3. Size Specifications:Select the appropriate free length, outer diameter, and wire diameter according to the available installation space.

  4. Compression Ratio:Avoid exceeding the spring’s maximum compression limit to extend its service life.

  5. Environmental Factors:Take into account temperature, humidity, and chemical exposure, as these can affect the spring’s performance
