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.
High pressure compression springs.
High pressure springs feature heavier than normal gauge wire in a smaller than normal diameter compression spring configuration.
Compression springs are often pre set at the factory.
Available in stock or custom.
The high pressure series is made of 17 7 stainless steel with participation hardening heat.
Top quality precision support coils can be used in press tools mounds pressure and die casting.
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.
Compression springs are commonly made from music wire steel that conforms to the en 10270 1 class sh standard stainless steel phosphor bronze beryllium.
For the heaviest loads these springs have more than double the load capacity of high load fastener mount compression springs.

Compression springs are open coil helical springs wound or constructed to oppose compression along the axis of wind.
The maximum recommended pressure for this spring will occur when the spring is at 80 of maximum available deflection.
High pressure compression springs are a series of slender low index compression springs with relatively high pressure ratings compared to standard compression springs.
A die spring is commonly used in clutches brakes and other heavy machinery applications.
These springs handle higher loads than standard fastener mount compression springs.
Helical compression is the most common metal spring configuration.
Secure by inserting a fastener through the hole at the base.
Heavy duty springs are compression extension or torsion springs with a great amount of force.
High load fastener mount compression springs.
Generally it is not recommended to use a compression spring all the way down to solid height.
Use precision compression springs and conical compression springs in mechanical applications like welding valve and pipe fitting and automotive engine systems.
When you put a load on a compression coil spring making it shorter it pushes back against the load and tries to get back to its original length.
Compression springs are open coil helical springs wound or constructed to oppose compression along the axis of wind.
