Conical Compression Springs

These stock conical tapered springs are made this way to provide stability when a regular compression spring buckles or bends.

Conical compression springs. 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. 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. Use these steel springs in noncorrosive environments. A die spring is commonly used in clutches brakes and other heavy machinery applications.

When pushed together the coils nest within each other. Use precision compression springs and conical compression springs in mechanical applications like welding valve and pipe fitting and automotive engine systems. 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. Century spring stocks a large selection of conically tapered compression springs.

Confined space conical compression springs. They offer the advantage of a reduced solid height compared to straight compression springs especially when capable of telescoping. Conical compression springs are cone shaped springs designed to provide a near constant spring rate and a solid height lower than a normal spring. Known for their shape tapered springs are more laterally stable and less liable to buckle than regular compression springs.

Selection includes standard tapered and constant rate tapered springs.
