Three Types and Formats of Compression Springs

There are many types, styles and sizes of compression springs.Here are three common types and formats that SNMHardware produced below:

First,Small Compression Springs

Very small coil springs – often called micro springs – are commonly found in a diverse array of pocket-sized devices and tools. Wire diameters for everyday use at this scale typically start from as little as 0.25mm, with an overall outer diameter of a micro spring measuring somewhere in the region of 2-3mm. However, for more specialised uses and devices, small springs can be made considerably thinner even than this.

Second，Large Compression Springs

Large compression springs tend to be designed with thicker diameters and higher spring rates. They are used widely across many different products, industries and applications. Some of the most common uses for these types of large coil springs include:

Cars, trucks and other vehicles
Suspension systems, pneumatic and hydraulic components
Valves, engines and turbines
Door hardware, gates and locking mechanisms
Printing and stamping presses

Third，Heavy-Duty Compression Springs

Heavy-duty versions are often branded as high load compression springs. These are much larger and thicker springs, capable of supporting and resisting significant pressure forces or storing large amounts of energy long-term. They are often found in applications as diverse as architecture (buildings and bridges), aerospace engineering, mining and drilling rigs, and industrial lifting platforms.

SNMHardware provides many types of Compression springs and also undertakes the manufacturing of customized compression springs.
