springs which are usually made of
rectangular section material. The torque
delivered per revolution is liner for the first
360 degrees. At greater angular rotations,
the coils begin to close on the arbor,
and the torque per turn increases rapidly.
For this reason, springs of this type are
usually in applications requiring less than
360 degrees of rotation.


helical spring that offers resistance to a
compressive force applied axially.
Compression springs are usually coiled as a
constant-diameter cylinder. Other common
forms of compression springs such as conical,
concave (barrel), convex (hourglass, or
various combinations of these, are used as
required by the application). While square,
rectangular, or special selection wire
may have to be specified, round wire is
predominant in compression springs because
it is readily available and adaptable to
standard coiler tubing.


material which has been wound to a given
curvature so that in it's relaxed condition it
is in the form of a tightly wound coil or spiral.
Unlike conventional springs, constant force
springs produce a constant force or torque
regardless of their extension or number
of turns.


and store energy by offering resistance to
a pulling force. The variety of ends available
is limited only by the imagination and
may include threaded inserts, reduced and
expanded eyes on the side or the center
of the spring, extended loops, hooks or eyes
at varying positions and even rectangular
or teardrop-shaped ends.


angular deflection, offer resistance to
externally applied torque. The wire itself
is subjected to bending stresses rather than
torsional stress as might be expected from
the name. Springs of this type are usually
close wound, reduce in coil diameter
and increase in body length as they are
deflected.


and slide forming capabilities and provides
high-quality for a variety of applications.
Our broad range of wire forms, clips, brackets
and stamped metal parts are found in a
variety of products.


Peace of mind never looked so good.
