Compression spring is a common mechanical elastic element that stores energy when compressed by an external force and produces an elastic reaction when released. The amount of energy stored in a compression spring is determined by the spring's material properties, wire diameter, and number of coils. The spring's rate, or stiffness, is determined by the wire diameter and the number of coils. The spring's rate can be adjusted by varying the wire diameter or the number of coils.
Ordinary Compression Spring
Conical Compression Spring
Barrel Spring
Hourglass spring
Compression Springs are found in a wide variety of applications ranging from automotive engines and large stamping presses to major appliances and lawn mowers to medical devices, cell phones, electronics and sensitive instrumentation devices.
1.Measure the wire diameter, preferably to 3 decimal places for accuracy using calipers.
2.Measure the outside diameter of the coils. This might vary slightly from coil to coil, take the larger value measured.
3.Measure the length in its free condition (uncompressed).
4.Count the number of coils. This is also the number of revolutions going from tip-to-tip.
