A micro compression spring is a type of coil spring that is characterised by its small diameter and lightweight design. Their compact design sets them apart from standard compression springs however they are still just as capable at a micro scale to compress under applied loads and then return to their original shape once the load is removed.
High-grade materials like stainless steel and specialised alloys are best suited for micro compression springs due to their corrosion resistance and strength. They effectively handle precise loads in small sizes, ensuring reliability under stress and maintaining performance in extreme temperatures.
Micro compression springs play a role in numerous everyday household chores. For instance, in the kitchen, you will find that in appliances like blenders, these springs can help maintain stable operation when blending rougher objects like vegetables by absorbing shocks during blending. In children’s toys, such as action figures, micro compression springs allow for movement of the arms and legs, allowing the figure to be bent into different positions.
