Conical Compression Springs

Conical compressions springs, also called cone or tapered compression springs, are versatile springs that are adaptable for use in a wide range of environments. By altering spring pitch (the distance between each individual coil) and coil diameters (which influences a spring’s tapered angle), the spring rate can be altered to be more uniform, or varied, depending on end-use requirements. 

Properties

Due to the coil diameters’ progressively reducing down the spring’s length, they are excellent in applications that require vibration dampening. Each coil’s natural frequency is different, meaning that overall resonance at individual frequencies is lower for a conical compression spring than a uniform cylindrical compression spring counterpart. 

Benefits

As long-standing conical spring manufacturers, we can share that our customers often choose conical compression springs, based on the following desirable properties: 

  • They are excellent for use in space-limited applications. 
  • Conical compression springs have enhanced stability due to their shape. 
  • Due to their variable spring rate, they are ideal for applications where having the least deflection at maximum load is desirable. 
  • They have reduced overall resonance with vibrations at specific frequencies. 
  • Conical compression springs are highly adaptable. Favourable characteristics can be easily attained for specific spring applications by altering spring pitch and coil diameter, as well as other factors.
