A compression spring is an open coil helical spring that offers resistance to compressive forces. At Diamond Wire we offer cold wound helical compression springs and heavy duty die springs that are designed to withhold that offered resistance throughout the duration of compressive applied forces or to store energy in the push mode.
Diamond Wire’s various configurations are used to reduce solid height, buckling and surging, or to produce nonlinear load deflection characteristics. Energy storage is greater for rectangular wire compression springs, also called die springs. However round wire rates can be increased if springs are nested inside one another. Rectangular wire is used to reduce solid height or increase the space efficiency of the design. Most die springs are made from rectangular wire for this reason. It should also be noted that most compression springs have closed and ground ends, although there are other end configurations available depending on the particular application. We manufacture coned compression and barrel springs to name a few.
