Cone Compression Spring

Metric color coded die springs.

Cone compression spring.

These springs are cone shaped to provide significantly more travel than traditional compression springs by lowering the solid height. These springs follow the raymond die spring color code. Each spring features a variable pitch to achieve the constant spring rate and coils which nest during deflection to provide a solid height approximately equal to two wire diameters. The improved solid height is achieved by nesting the active coils within each other during compression.

Use precision compression springs and conical compression springs in mechanical applications like welding valve and pipe fitting and automotive engine systems. Helical compression is the most common metal spring configuration. A die spring is commonly used in clutches brakes and other heavy machinery applications. Colors and sizes follow iso 10243 for metric die springs.

Learn more about compression springs. Compression springs usually have a cylindrical shape with a constant diameter but they can also be conical barrel shaped hourglass shaped or a combination of these. Conical springs are commonly used in electrical contacts. These stock conical tapered springs are made this way to provide stability when a regular compression spring buckles or bends.

Known for their shape tapered springs are more laterally stable and less liable to buckle than regular compression springs. Compression springs are used for automotive aerospace consumer goods. Double cone springs are also known as barrel or barbell springs they are used for the same reason you use a conical spring. Conical compression springs are cone shaped springs designed to provide a near constant spring rate and a solid height lower than a normal spring.

To provide stability and or reduce solid height in the case of these barrel or barbell springs they will give your long compression spring the stability it needs and give you a bit more space as opposed to a conical spring that ll need a larger outer diameter on the. Stock conical tapered springs are also used to provide more travel. Selection includes standard tapered and constant rate tapered springs. Also known as tapered springs.

Flanges on the ends of these springs provide a flat mounting surface. A cone shaped compression spring that has a tapered body with a large outer diameter at the base and a small outer diameter a the top. A compression spring has a solid height which is the length of the spring when a load causes all coils to touch and the spring can be deflected no more.
