Cone Compression Spring

The improved solid height is achieved by nesting the active coils within each other during compression.

Cone compression spring.

Conical springs are commonly used in electrical contacts. 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. Also known as tapered springs. These springs follow the raymond die spring color code.

Conical compression springs are cone shaped springs designed to provide a near constant spring rate and a solid height lower than a normal spring. Selection includes standard tapered and constant rate tapered springs. Colors and sizes follow iso 10243 for metric die 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.

Flanges on the ends of these springs provide a flat mounting surface. Stock conical tapered springs are also used to provide more travel. Use precision compression springs and conical compression springs in mechanical applications like welding valve and pipe fitting and automotive engine systems. 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. These stock conical tapered springs are made this way to provide stability when a regular compression spring buckles or bends. A die spring is commonly used in clutches brakes and other heavy machinery applications. Double cone springs are also known as barrel or barbell springs they are used for the same reason you use a conical 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. Known for their shape tapered springs are more laterally stable and less liable to buckle than regular compression springs. Learn more about compression springs. Ajax makes a variety of compression springs including cone double cone springs.

These springs are cone shaped to provide significantly more travel than traditional compression springs by lowering the solid height. Compression springs are used for automotive aerospace consumer goods. Helical compression is the most common metal spring configuration. Century spring stocks a large selection of conically tapered compression springs.
