You may have heard of open and closed ends on compression springs, we talk about it in detail here: Compression Spring End Types. Open and close ends are the terms for the ends and finishing touch on a compression spring. However, there is a similar term that we want to address today, that is not to be confused with this. The term open coil spring and closed coil spring, refers to the type of spring itself. So today we want to take a few moments to address what this means and the differences b...

When buying a custom or stock spring it is important for you to know and understand the type of motion you need the spring to carry out so you can select the proper type of spring and then dive deeper into the dimensions and specs you want that type of spring to have. There are three main types of coil metal springs: compression springs, extension springs, and torsion springs. However, you may find that each of these spring types can be subcategorized and even known by different names. Today...

Definition: The change in size of a spring’s diameter during deflection . When a coil spring is deflected, whether it is a compression, extension or torsion spring, its diameter is affected. In some cases the diameter will shrink while in other cases it will expand. Below are the examples of the spring diameter change of compression, tension and torsional springs. Compression Spring Diameter Change In the case of a compression spring, its diameter expands when...

When it comes to coil springs the term “diameter” can be tossed around often and it is an important word used in different parts of the coil spring dimensions. It is used to describe the width of the spring’s coils but it is important to pay attention to what kind of diameter is being referred to, especially when it comes to compression springs. In compression springs, there are four main times where the word diameter is used in relation to spring specs. These are: wire diameter, outer ...

Magazine Springs Definition: A compression spring with oval or rectangular shaped coils placed inside of the magazine or charger of a firearm. A magazine spring's function is to push up the bullets or rounds to be placed into the chamber. Magazine springs are typical for most guns but certain types of firearms require different lengths, forces, and amount of coils. Take a rifle and a hand gun for example. Certain rifles have longer magazines or chargers than a usual hand gun. T...

Definition of a Barrel Spring Definition of a barrel spring: A barrel spring is a type of compression spring used to produce linear force where the top and bottom outer diameter are smaller than the center outer diameter. A barrel spring is chosen by end users over a generic compression spring mainly because it may reduce space, prevent buckling, and provide a multitude of shaped configurations to better fit in any designs. Manufacturing Capabilities for Ba...

Since some devices are manufactured with abstract shapes and spaces, there are several compression spring shape options. The most common compression spring shapes outside of a regular compression spring are; conical springs, barrel springs, and hourglass springs. Today we will focus on hourglass springs, a beautifully complex compression spring shape that provides several benefits. Hourglass springs look like an hourglass or a barbell shape, hence their name. Hourglass springs can be re...

Initial tension is an important term related to extension springs . It refers to the tension that is store between an extension spring coils, which is what keeps them together. The initial tension is released once the spring is extended to the point where you can barely see some light pass through the coils. This value directly affects the load required to pull an extension spring, that is why it is so important to keep it in mind when designing or buying a ten...

Definition: The actual length of a compression spring without any sort of load or force being placed on it. When a load or force is placed on a compression spring, its length deflects . Even if the load or force is very small, the length of the spring may travel a few thousandths of an inch. The amount of travel it will deflect depends on the spring’s strength/stiffness and the amount of load being placed. The free length of your spring is the length it has right when it comes of...

Compression Spring Rate Compression spring rate refers to the constant force exerted by a compression spring for each inch or millimeter of travel when subjected to an applied load. It's a crucial spring specification that helps determine whether the compression spring can meet the working loads when installed in an application. This force remains constant, with the load and travel increasing consistently. The rate is calculated based on the spring's physical...
