Springs-Compression Springs

Springs-Compression Springs

  Compression springs are mainly installed in positions where they need to absorb pressure or provide a restoring force. In use, the spring is usually placed between two contact surfaces (such as between two components). When an external force compresses the spring, it stores energy; once released, it automatically returns to its original shape, pushing components back or restoring them to their original position.

Common applications include:

1. As a cushioning element — used to absorb vibration or impact (e.g., automotive shock absorbers, mechanical dampers).

2. As a return element — after being compressed, the spring pushes mechanisms or components back to their original position (e.g., buttons, switches).

3. To provide constant pressure — used to maintain consistent contact pressure (e.g., battery contacts, sealing structures).

4. Load support — in some cases, the spring directly bears loads and maintains balance.
