Compression Springs

Cold-wound helical compression springs made from drawn wires of various materials are the most commonly used springs.  A spring is an elastic body which will distort under a load, and then return to its original shape when released from distortion. Compression springs can be manufactured with a constant or variable pitch, and closed or open ends, that are either ground or not ground.  The body of the spring can either be of a constant diameter, conical, barrel, hourglass, or some combination of these configurations.

There are many things to consider when designing a compression spring including load requirements, the environment (non-corrosive vs. corrosive) spatial restrictions and temperature. Mercer Spring has vast experience in manufacturing springs for every environmental and spatial situation. Our engineering staff can help you with any questions and the technical support needed for your application.
