Compression Spring
A Compression Spring is a helical spring designed to resist compressive forces and return to its original shape after compression. These springs are widely used in industrial and mechanical systems for energy storage, shock absorption, and maintaining force.

What are Compression Springs?
A Compression Spring is an open-coil helical spring that shortens when a compressive load is applied and expands back once the load is removed. The concept of compression in spring allows it to absorb force efficiently and maintain spacing between components.
These springs are engineered to handle repeated loading cycles, making them ideal for industrial compression springs used in demanding environments. Their performance depends on factors such as material, design, and compression spring sizes.
Variants of Compression Springs
There are several variants of compression springs, designed to meet different application needs:
- Standard Compression Spring – Common cylindrical springs used across industries
- Conical Compression Springs – Designed for improved stability and reduced solid height
- Barrel Compression Springs – Provide better load distribution and buckling resistance
- Hourglass Compression Springs – Ideal for applications requiring flexibility and stability
- Custom Compression Springs – Tailored to specific load, size, and performance requirements
HENNLICH offers a wide range of custom compression springs and standard designs to suit diverse industrial applications.
