Mini Compression Springs FAQ

What are compression springs used for?

Compression, or helical compression springs are used to resist applied compression forces or to store energy in the push mode. These are very common and are found in the automotive, aerospace, and consumer industries. This type of spring can take many forms – conical, barrel, hourglass, or cylindrical – but the most common is straight cylindrical.

What are compression coil springs?

Compression springs are coil springs wound with spacing between the coils so that they can be compressed from their free length to a shorter operating length. This allows the spring to store energy and provide a force or pressure.

What is the spring compression?

A compression spring is a cylindrical coil spring that increases resistance against axially applied pressure. ... A compression spring is an elastic coil, made of spring steel - its spring characteristic is that it absorbs force or provides resistance.
