Next Design Decisions
Next Steps for Your Spring Design
Once the spring style is selected, confirm how it works in the assembly, which material suits the environment, how it will be manufactured and which dimensions and performance points should be controlled on the drawing.
Materials
Choose the material for the environment
Material is selected after the load, environment and forming requirements are known.

Compression Springs
Conical Compression Springs
A tapered compression spring for assemblies that need a changing diameter, improved stability, or a lower compressed package than a conventional straight coil can provide.
Compression Springs
Continuous-Length Compression Coils
Long compression coils for cut-to-length requirements, with the finished section, end condition and working load specified separately.
Compression Springs
Convex Compression Springs
Barrel-shaped compression springs with a wider middle and smaller end coils, reviewed against seat dimensions, housing clearance and working loads.
RFQ
Send the Working Requirement
A drawing is ideal. If you do not have one yet, provide the dimensions, load or torque, travel, environment and expected quantity that matter in the assembly.
