Cone Compression Spring

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

Cone compression spring.

Colors and sizes follow iso 10243 for metric die springs. Known for their shape tapered springs are more laterally stable and less liable to buckle than regular compression springs. Conical springs are commonly used in electrical contacts. Compression springs are used for automotive aerospace consumer goods.

These springs are cone shaped to provide significantly more travel than traditional compression springs by lowering the solid height. Metric color coded die springs. 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. Stock conical tapered springs are also used to provide more travel. 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. These stock conical tapered springs are made this way to provide stability when a regular compression spring buckles or bends.

These springs follow the raymond die spring color code. Stock up on compression and die springs from grainger in the types and sizes you need. Compression springs are open coil helical springs wound or constructed to oppose compression along the axis of wind. Conical compression springs are cone shaped springs designed to provide a near constant spring rate and a solid height lower than a normal spring.

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. 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. Century spring stocks a large selection of conically tapered compression springs.

Selection includes standard tapered and constant rate tapered springs. Double cone springs are also known as barrel or barbell springs they are used for the same reason you use a conical spring. Ajax makes a variety of compression springs including cone double cone springs. Flanges on the ends of these springs provide a flat mounting surface.
