Compression Spring Design Information
What are Compression Springs?
Compression springs are open-coil springs that provide resistance when compressed. They are designed to absorb force and return to their original shape when the force is released, making them ideal for a wide range of applications. These precision compression springs are used to absorb shock in automotive suspensions, as pressure valves in medical equipment, and so much more! There are many design considerations that must be kept in mind throughout the design process for optimal spring performance.
Design Assistance
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 Ends
Below are a few of the most common compression spring end types. Consult a Newcomb Spring design expert on the end type that will optimize your spring's performance.
Closed & Not Ground Ends
Closed end coil(s) with the wire not ground down. This is the most common end type.

Closed & Ground Ends
Closed end coil(s) that are ground down. This improves stability and vertical standing capability.

Open Ends
Open end coils can be ground or not ground, and rely on an external support like a rod or housing unit to maintain stability.

Reduced Ends
Reduced spring ends gradually decrease in diameter resulting in a conical shape. The decrease in diameter can happen throughout the entire spring or only a portion of it.
Get a quoteGrinding
Compression spring ends are often ground 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.
