Compression springs are used in a wide range of products where compressive force is needed. This can include everything from hearing aids, ballpoint pens and lawnmowers, through to industrial machinery and much more.
Compression springs are basically a component that can accumulate force and work at optimal levels for a prolonged period, provided that they are used and dimensioned correctly. The force accumulates in the spring as it is being compressed, and is released when the spring is allowed to return to its original length.
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. A compression spring can be used as a pure energy accumulator, shock absorber, vibration damper or force generator.
