Introduction

Compression springs are unique, open-coiled springs which are wound in a helical shape. They are designed with the ability to oppose compression, meaning they can push back when they are pushed on. Helically wound compression springs are the most common configuration of metal due to their extensive range of uses.

Compression springs are positioned over a rod or fitted into a hole to serve their intended purpose. When the spring is subjected to pressure caused by weight pressing on its axis, it compresses and becomes shorter. As the spring compresses, it gains more and more strength to push back - this trait of compression spring is very valuable.

These powerful springs are designed to resist linear compression, as they will push back harder on whatever is compressing them in an effort to return to their original strength.

Applications

The force produced by compression springs makes them an excellent vessel for storing energy, making this style of spring ideal for numerous applications. These springs are used in everyday items, which includes pens, vehicles, and mobile phones.

Compression springs can be manufactured in any size, with a varying degree of stiffness, known as spring rate, meaning the spring becomes an invaluable component in an extensive range of applications.

Larger compression springs with greater spring rate are used in stamping presses in the printing industry and in other appliances, such as lawn mowers. Smaller compression springs are found in medical devices, small electronics, precision instruments and tools. Compression springs have the most common configuration and are most commonly used in automotive, aerospace, and consumer applications.

Strength and Stress

Stress is determined by a spring’s dimensions and its load bearing deflection requirements. The type of stress on a coil is referred to as torsion. As the coil is compressed, the surface of the coil exposed to pressure is subjected to the greatest stress but, as the spring deflects, the rest of the spring takes on more stress. This is known as a range of operating stress.

Types and Uses

Conical, hourglass, and barrel-shaped are all types of compression springs used in applications requiring low solid, increased stability, or resistance to surging. These types of spring have a small solid height, designed so each active coil fits within the next coil, resulting in the solid height being equal to one or two thickness of wire. This is useful where the solid height is limited.

Variable rate springs offer a constant uniform pitch and have an increasing force rate. The larger coils gradually begin to bottom as a force is applied.

Being the most common type of spring, the most regular consumers are: engineering companies, defence industry, and vehicle restoration.
