A compression spring is a type of mechanical spring designed to resist compressive forces. When a load is applied, the spring compresses, storing potential energy. Once the load is removed, the spring returns to its original shape, releasing the stored energy. Compression springs are widely used in various applications due to their ability to absorb shock, maintain force between surfaces, and provide resistance in mechanical systems.

Helical Design:
Compression springs are typically coiled in a helical (spiral) shape with a constant diameter. The coils are usually open-ended, meaning there is space between them when the spring is at rest.
Material:
They are made from a variety of materials, including:
Steel (e.g., music wire, stainless steel, high-carbon steel)
Non-ferrous metals (e.g., brass, bronze)
Exotic alloys (e.g., Inconel, titanium) for high-temperature or corrosive environments.
Load Capacity:
The spring's ability to withstand force depends on factors like wire diameter, coil diameter, and the number of active coils.
End Types:
Compression springs can have different end configurations to suit specific applications:
Closed Ends: Coils are squared and ground flat for better stability.
Open Ends: Coils remain open, providing more flexibility.
Ground Ends: Ends are ground flat to ensure the spring stands upright.
High Energy Storage: Capable of storing and releasing significant amounts of energy.
Versatility: Available in various sizes, materials, and configurations to suit different needs.
Durability: Designed to withstand repeated compression cycles without losing performance.
Cost-Effective: Simple design and manufacturing process make them affordable.
When designing or selecting a compression spring, consider the following factors:
Load Requirements: The amount of force the spring needs to withstand.
Deflection: The distance the spring can compress under load.
Spring Rate: The force required to compress the spring by a unit distance (e.g., N/mm or lbs/in).
Material: Chosen based on environmental conditions (e.g., corrosion resistance, temperature tolerance).
Dimensions: Wire diameter, coil diameter, free length, and number of coils.
End Types: Selected based on the application's stability and alignment requirements.
When a force is applied to the spring, the coils are pushed together, compressing the spring and storing energy.
When the force is removed, the spring expands back to its original shape, releasing the stored energy.
Compression springs are used in a wide range of industries and applications, including:
Automotive: Suspension systems, engine valves, and braking systems.
Aerospace: Landing gear and control mechanisms.
Industrial Machinery: Heavy equipment, presses, and actuators.
Consumer Electronics: Keyboards, switches, and battery contacts.
Medical Devices: Surgical instruments and diagnostic equipment.
Household Items: Pens, mattresses, and garage doors.
