COMPRESSION SPRINGS

Compression Springs | Compression Spring Manufacturer | Switch Springs

Mid-West Spring and Stamping produces compression springs in many standard sizes and configurations. In addition to manufacturing standard sizes and configurations of compression springs, we are also a compression springs manufacturer that produces custom compression springs for your unique applications. Compression springs are most commonly used in aerospace, automotive, and consumer applications. Most compression springs are manufactured as a straight cylindrical spring, made with a variety of sizes and types of wire. Other compression springs are designed in the form of a cone, allowing longer travel due to the individual coils not being forced against each other. As a premier compression springs manufacturer, we craft compression springs in a variety of compression types, shapes, and specifications.

Typical applications for compression springs include:

• Aerospace
• Automotive, Fluid/air control
• Off-road equipment
• Switches

Mid-West Spring and Stamping offers compression springs with the following specifications:

• Hot wound springs in wire diameters up to 1 7/8" for heavy duty applications
• Round wire diameters from .003" to .625"
• Square and rectangular

Factors to consider when determining which compression coils are best for your applications include:

• End treatment - Custom springs can have open, open and ground, closed or closed and ground ends
• Free length -How long is the spring when fully extended?
• Helix direction - The direction of coils is right or left-handed, depending on how the machine making them is set up. Handedness is important in very few applications.
• Load at Solid Height - The force in pounds required to collapse the spring completely.
• Solid height - What is the length of the spring when completely compressed?)
• Spring Rate - How much force in pounds per inch of deflection does it take to compress the spring? See calculating procedure below.
• Total number of coils in the spring
• Outside diameter of the spring
• Wire diameter - Diameters of .003" to 1 7/8" available in round, square or rectangular.
• Wire material - Custom springs are available in a variety of steel and non-ferrous alloys.
