Use Cases

Support compression and return action

Compression springs are used in compatible mechanisms and assemblies that need controlled spring force, resisting force under compression, or return action after compression.

How to Choose

Match the spring to the assembly

Start with outside diameter and length, then compare wire diameter when specified. Confirm that the required spring construction and closed, ground end configuration match the replacement or build requirement.

Applications

For maintenance, repair, and assembly work

These springs support replacement, installation, project inventory, and equipment-building needs for maintenance professionals, repair teams, technicians, and assembly buyers.

Additional Information

Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Start With Fit

Compare the dimensions your mechanism requires

Outside diameter is a primary fit consideration. The represented springs range from 0.12 in. to 0.97 in. outside diameter, with listed lengths from 0.5 in. to 2.5 in. Select the size that matches the available clearance and replacement dimensions in the compatible assembly.

  • Compare outside diameter before selecting a spring.
  • Match listed length where the assembly requires it.
  • Use wire diameter when it is specified for the replacement requirement.
Choose Construction

Select music wire or Type 302 stainless steel

Zinc-plated music wire springs provide a high-carbon steel option for repeated compression cycling. Type 302 stainless steel springs provide greater corrosion resistance for demanding applications. Both material types represented have closed, ground ends for finished spring contact and placement.

  • Choose zinc-plated music wire for the stated high-carbon steel, repeated-cycling option.
  • Choose Type 302 stainless steel where greater corrosion resistance is needed.
  • Confirm that closed, ground ends suit the installation requirement.
Plan Quantity

Keep matching replacements on hand

The listed compression springs are packaged in quantities of five. This quantity can support multiple replacements, assembly work, or project inventory when matching springs are needed.

  • A five-piece pack provides multiple matching springs.
  • Consider the number of replacement or assembly positions required.
  • Keep dimensions and construction consistent across a compatible application.
