Compression Spring

The compression springs are the open-coil helical spring that resists any compression force applied on it axially. Compression springs are usually coiled at a constant diameter, they can also be coiled in other shapes like – conical, barrel, hourglass, or a combination of these shapes.

The compression springs are winded over a rod or fitted inside a hole. When a load is applied, the spring gets compressed and pushes back to regain its original shape. These springs offer resistance to linear compressing forces.
