High Force Compression Springs

Spec mechanical compression springs are open coil helical springs in a variety of cross sections and forms for linear applications.

High force compression springs.

The force chart shows what adjustments will increase the force of your high tension spring. These springs handle higher loads than standard fastener mount compression springs. Compression springs are open coil helical springs wound or constructed to oppose compression along the axis of wind. Heavy duty springs are compression extension or torsion springs with a great amount of force.

Compression springs are the type of open coiled helical springs which are designed to oppose the compression set along the wind axis. For the heaviest loads these springs have more than double the load capacity of high load fastener mount compression springs. Helical compression is the most common metal spring configuration. Igs gas spring products are developed under the most stringent quality.

High load fastener mount compression springs. The compression springs are either fitted inside a hole or placed on a rod. They are designed to operate with a compression load causing the spring to get shorter as the load is applied. As compression springs are compressed to a shorter height they provide a force push to return the spring back to its normal height.

Additional terminology information is available in our faq. Century spring warehouses the largest inventory of high grade straight cylindrically shaped compression springs in the world a compression spring is an open coil helical spring that offers resistance to a compressive force applied axially they are usually coiled at a constant diameter though they can be coiled in other needed forms such as conical concave. Learn more about compression springs. A compression spring is an open coiled helical spring made of round wire usually metal that offers resistance to an axial force and keeps two items separated.

Secure by inserting a fastener through the hole at the base. Standard compression gas springs also known as gas struts are normally extended self contained force generating devices used in a wide range of industries to provide a compact high force solution to aid the lifting counterbalancing and damping of applications. They have large wire diameters from 1 4 inch to 1 inch in thickness and are required when the spring needs to support a large amount of load in a mechanism. High quality compression springs available in various specifications.

These springs handle higher loads than standard fastener mount compression springs. Therefore decreasing the.
