The Layman’s Guide to Conical Springs
Conical springs are cone shaped springs used in many household objects and common machinery. The spring is generally composed of stainless steel and can be subjected to temperatures up to 260 degrees Celsius/500 degrees Fahrenheit. The conical spring is set up in a form that the bottom is large enough to accommodate all the top…

A conical compression spring typically withstands more pressure than a standard spring because of its innovative design. A cone shaped compression spring has a wide base that tapers to a smaller top. This shape allows it to keep going while more traditional springs buckle and break. Replacing your outdated springs with a newer model…
Read MoreThe Basics of Spring Coiling
While most springs are manufactured using a similar coiling technique, the shape of the coil can create an entirely different type of spring. When a spring is manufactured, precise measurements are taken and prototypes are constructed to ensure the coil provides the right amount of compression and deflection. Besides the linear coiled compression spring, other…
