From concept to prototype to full production, our team is here to support you every step of the way.

Designing Compression Springs

Compression springs store energy when compressed and release that energy as it’s uncompressed. There are many design considerations that must be kept in mind throughout the design process for optimal spring performance. Tolerance requirements, squareness of ends, deflection, and slenderness ratio are often overlooked in the design process. Newcomb's sales and engineering staff will gladly review your compression spring specifications. From light duty compression springs to custom coil springs, Newcomb Spring can tackle your design challenges with unique solutions. We deliver high-quality compression springs customized to meet your exact needs.

Compression Spring Grinding

Compression spring ends are often ground to increase operational life and to allow the spring to sit squarely on the load-bearing surface. Grinding of compression springs also increases the number of active coils, which can result in higher loads or lower stresses. As a modern compression springs manufacturer, our facilities operate with a wide variety of equipment - from hand-operated grinding tools to automatic, high-speed vertical spindle disc grinders that can handle heavy-duty, large springs.
