Compression Springs
Compression springs are open-coil mechanical springs designed to resist compressive forces and store energy when under pressure. As one of the most widely used spring types, companies utilize compression springs in countless applications, from automotive assemblies and fluid-handling systems to medical devices and industrial equipment.
With advanced CNC coiling technology and decades of engineering expertise, we deliver reliable, consistent, and high-performance springs for every industry.
Custom Compression Spring Manufacturing
At Elyria Spring, we produce custom compression springs tailored to your exact requirements, no matter the complexity. We help you create custom spring lengths and configurations to meet the unique needs of your project, whether for testing, or full-scale production. Our manufacturing goal is to form components that efficiently store and release energy under load.
CNC Coiling Capabilities
Our state-of-the-art CNC coiling machines ensure consistent coil geometry, tight tolerances, and repeatable quality across every production run. This enables us to support both simple and highly specialized spring designs.
Tight Tolerances for High-Performance Applications
For aerospace, medical, and industrial applications requiring extreme precision, we hold tight tolerances on load, free length, outside diameter, and spring rate to ensure reliable function under real-world conditions.
Compression Spring Types We Produce
We manufacture a wide range of industrial compression springs to fit your application and manufacturing according to your key specifications, such as:
- Solid length
- Inside diameter
- Wire diameter
- Pitch
- Max load or dimensions
- Additional options include long length compression springs, which can be customized for specialized applications requiring extended spring dimensions.
We can help you select from among various types, such as:
Standard / Straight-Coil Compression Springs: Uniform coil diameter suitable for the majority of general-purpose applications.
Tapered Compression Springs: Reduced solid height and improved stability for applications needing controlled buckling behavior.
Conical Compression Springs: Designed for progressive load characteristics and optimal nesting.
Barrel and Hourglass Configurations: Symmetrical shapes that minimize lateral movement and enhance performance under dynamic loads.
Material Options
Choosing the right material is critical to achieving proper spring performance, longevity, and safety. We offer a wide range of spring materials to meet application requirements for temperature resistance, corrosion protection, and mechanical strength.
- Music Wire: High tensile strength, ideal for high-stress applications.
- Stainless Steel: Excellent corrosion resistance, suitable for humid or corrosive environments.
- Hard Drawn: Economical carbon steel wire, offering good strength and moderate fatigue life. Commonly used in static or low-stress compression spring applications where cost is a primary concern.
Compression Spring Applications
Our custom and standard compression springs support critical functions across multiple industries:
- Aerospace: actuators, control systems, fuel components
- Automotive: suspension components, fuel delivery systems, interior mechanisms
- Medical Devices: surgical tools, diagnostic equipment, drug-delivery systems
- Valves, Pumps & Actuators: sealing, flow control, and load-bearing applications
