Cone Compression Spring

A cone shaped compression spring that has a tapered body with a large outer diameter at the base and a small outer diameter a the top.

Cone compression spring.

A compression spring has a solid height which is the length of the spring when a load causes all coils to touch and the spring can be deflected no more. Stock up on compression and die springs from grainger in the types and sizes you need. Metric color coded die springs. Also known as tapered springs.

These springs are cone shaped to provide significantly more travel than traditional compression springs by lowering the solid height. Stock conical tapered springs are also used to provide more travel. Colors and sizes follow iso 10243 for metric die springs. Ajax makes a variety of compression springs including cone double cone springs.

Known for their shape tapered springs are more laterally stable and less liable to buckle than regular compression springs. The improved solid height is achieved by nesting the active coils within each other during compression. Compression springs are open coil helical springs wound or constructed to oppose compression along the axis of wind. Selection includes standard tapered and constant rate tapered springs.

Compression springs are used for automotive aerospace consumer goods. Conical springs are commonly used in electrical contacts. Use precision compression springs and conical compression springs in mechanical applications like welding valve and pipe fitting and automotive engine systems. Century spring stocks a large selection of conically tapered compression springs.

Learn more about compression springs. Helical compression is the most common metal spring configuration. Conical compression springs are cone shaped springs designed to provide a near constant spring rate and a solid height lower than a normal spring. Flanges on the ends of these springs provide a flat mounting surface.

Each spring features a variable pitch to achieve the constant spring rate and coils which nest during deflection to provide a solid height approximately equal to two wire diameters. To provide stability and or reduce solid height in the case of these barrel or barbell springs they will give your long compression spring the stability it needs and give you a bit more space as opposed to a conical spring that ll need a larger outer diameter on the. These springs follow the raymond die spring color code. A die spring is commonly used in clutches brakes and other heavy machinery applications.
