COMPRESSION SPRINGS

What a compression spring is

A compression spring is a mechanical component that is used to store mechanical energy in the form of elastic force. When compressed, the spring contracts and stores energy, which can be released later to generate an expanding force. Compression springs are used in a wide range of applications, including vehicle suspensions, closure systems, damping systems, and many others.

Compression springs typology

Cylindrical and conical compression springs, with constant or variable pitch, in round wire, in square or rectangular sections. Both in small (tens of pieces) and large series (millions of pieces).

Measurement

Compression springs in round wire from 0.08 mm to 20.00 mm.
