_______
Compression Springs
Compression Springs are designed to operate with a compressive load in “Push Mode”. Compression Springs can have variable pitch between coils which are used to reduce soil height, buckling and surging to produce non-linear lead deflection characteristics.
_______
Conical Springs
Conical springs are compression springs which are helically coiled round wires forming a tapered or conical shape. These are used to provide balance and reduce the solid height by the coils telescoping into each other. Conical springs are just compression springs coiled into increasing or decreasing outer diameters making their shape like a cone. Conical springs provide a great advantage in applications where solid height is limited.
_______
Torsion Springs
Torsion Springs are designed to operate with torque (twisting/rotary force) instead of a lateral force as exerted by compression & conical springs. A torsion springs is a springs that works by twisting its end along its axis. When it is twisted, it exerts a torque in the opposite direction, proportional to the angle it is twisted.
_______
Extension Springs
Extension/Tension springs are helical wound coils, with minimal or no pitch between the coils to create tension. Extension springs are springs which absorbed store energy by offering resistance to a pulling force. Extension springs usually have hooks, loops or end coils that are pulled out and formed from each end. The function of an extension spring is to provide extended force when the springs is pulled from its original state.
_______
Wire Forms
Wire forms come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and each plays a different role. Wire forms are wires that have been bent into specific shapes for various purposes. Wire forms can deceive a layman as they don’t fall into the most common notion of what a springs is, but they still exert force of specific kinds to fulfil the purpose of a springs.
