Compression Springs
As a custom compression spring manufacturer, Newcomb Spring can produce a wide variety of compression spring shapes, sizes and designs. Using material sizes from .007 to .625 inches in spring wire diameter, and up to 2.0 inches bar stock, all Newcomb compression springs are precision manufactured to meet even the strictest order requirements. With over a century of spring design and manufacturing experience we can provide design assistance on your compression spring order, helping lower production costs and review your part's fit and function.
Spring design overview
Compression springs are used to resist applied compression forces or to store energy in the push mode. Compression springs have the most common spring configuration and are found in many applications such as automotive, aerospace and consumer goods. While the most prevalent form of compression spring is a straight cylindrical spring made from round wire, many other forms are produced. Conical, barrel, hourglass, or cylindrical forms are available, with or without variable spacing between coils. Such configurations are used to reduce solid height, buckling and surging, or to produce nonlinear load characteristics. Energy storage capacity is greater for round wire compression springs than for rectangular wire compression springs and can be increased by nesting. Rectangular wire is sometimes employed to reduce solid height or increase the space efficiency of the design. Most die springs are made from rectangular wire for this reason.
