Various Type of Compression Springs-Springs

  Compression Springs are the most common type of mechanical springs. Their primary function is to store energy and generate a return force when subjected to compression. They are widely used in automotive systems, industrial equipment, electronic devices, and medical instruments, serving as components for cushioning, shock absorption, support, or return motion.

1. Straight Compression Springs:The most basic type, with uniform wire and outer diameter.Suitable for general linear load applications.

2. Conical Compression Springs:Cone-shaped springs offering excellent stability and self-centering capabilities.

Ideal for space-limited or nested applications.

3. Barrel (Convex) Compression Springs:Wider in the middle and narrower at both ends.Helps reduce lateral deflection and wear, commonly used in high-vibration equipment.

4. Hourglass (Concave) Compression Springs:Narrow in the center and wider at the ends.Well-suited for applications requiring centralized guidance.

5. Variable Pitch Compression Springs:Designed with uneven coil spacing.Provides a non-linear force response, customizable for progressive load requirements.

6. Wave Springs: Made from flat wire formed in a wave pattern.Compact design delivers high force in applications with limited axial space.
