Key Charactersitics

  • Shape and Design: Typically, compression springs are coiled helical springs made from round wire. They can also be made in other shapes, such as conical, barrel, or hourglass, to suit specific applications.

  • Material: Common materials used for compression springs include steel alloys, stainless steel, and high nickel alloys.

Benefits

  • Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications. 

  • Durability: Made from strong materials to withstand repeated compression cycles. 

  • Compactness: Can be designed to fit in limited spaces.

Ordering Custom Compression Springs

  • The normal squareness tolerance for ground ends is 2-3 degrees.
  • Use conical compression springs when a short, solid height is needed to reduce buckling and surging.
  • Leave the wind direction optional for compression springs. Use right-hand wound when the compression spring is being threaded on a bolt, or one right and one left when two springs are being used inside the other to avoid meshing coils.
  • Make Katy Spring aware of the spring travel and any solid height requirements
  • Specify a force with a tolerance (+/- 10 percent) at an exact compressed height rather than a definite deflection. Spring rate is the difference of two forces divided by the amount of deflection between those forces.
  • Make Katy Spring aware of unusual conditions such as temperature, corrosive environments, impact force, and fatigue life.
  • Specify the mandatory requirements only to Katy Spring, and leave the exact wire size and number of coils to the discretion of Katy Spring whenever possible.
