Compression Springs

Compression springs are marked by their distinctive helical (or corkscrew) wire configuration. Their shape allows them to absorb compression loads because as the helix compresses, the spring shortens in length and resists compressive forces.

When compressed, they efficiently store large quantities of mechanical energy, which is released upon unloading the forces that compress the helical coil.

Compression springs are found in every industry's machine components, including Aerospace, Medical, Automotive, and Consumer goods. Century Spring offers an expansive selection of in-stock compressive springs available to ship today. We also have the expertise to design and manufacture custom compression springs to fit any mechanical application across the most demanding industries.
