Conical Compression Springs

Use precision compression springs and conical compression springs in mechanical applications like welding valve and pipe fitting and automotive engine systems.

Conical compression springs.

Stock conical tapered springs definition 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 die spring is commonly used in clutches brakes and other heavy machinery applications. Known for their shape tapered springs are more laterally stable and less liable to buckle than regular compression springs. Century spring stocks a large selection of conically tapered compression springs.

When pushed together the coils nest within each other. These stock conical tapered springs are made this way to provide stability when a regular compression spring buckles or bends. Stock up on compression and die springs from grainger in the types and sizes you need. Conical compression springs are often specified where the large end is meant to work in a bore and the small end is meant to work over a rod.

Selection includes standard tapered and constant rate tapered springs. 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. Conical compression springs are cone shaped springs designed to provide a near constant spring rate and a solid height lower than a normal spring. Install these springs in tight spots.

They offer the advantage of a reduced solid height compared to straight compression springs especially when capable of telescoping.
