TENSION SPRINGS
Needed in many applications in which coils must stretch to store energy, provide resistance to a pulling force, or provide a restoring force. They are usually close wound, meaning that each coil is held tightly against adjacent coils.
TORSION SPRINGS
Coil springs designed to apply or resist a twisting (torsional) force around a center point. They can also be manufactured with two sets of coils wound in opposite directions around the same center axis. These are referred to as "double torsion springs."
COMPRESSION SPRINGS
A type of coil spring wound with spacing between the coils so that they can be compressed from their free length to a shorter operating length. This allows the spring to store energy and provide a force or pressure.
WIRE SHAPES
Coming in all shapes and sizes, from the simplest retaining rings to more complex wire brackets. Wire Rings can be either single coil (with or without a gap) or multiple coil. They can be round, oval, oblong like a chain link, multi-sided like a stop sign or...
