Spring Configuration Guide

Compression Springs

Made to “push” and can be designed to accommodate wide load and deflection ranges. Can be made with; round, square or even rectangular wire.

Barrel

Conical

Constant Patch

Hourglass

Variable Pitch

Spring Washer

Belleville

Made to “push” high loads, low deflections. Rates can be constant, increasing or decreasing.

Wave

Made to “push light loads, low deflection. Uses limited radial space.

Slotted

Made to “push” with higher deflection (travel) than bellevilles.

Finger

Made to “push” for axial loading of bearings.

Curved

Made to “push” and used to absorb axial end play.

Beam

Made to “push” or “pull” a wide range of loads with minimal deflection.

Cantilever, Regular

Cantilever, Trapezoidal

Simple Beam/Bow Spring/Lead Spring

Torsion

Made to “twist” at a constant rate.

Spiral

Hairspring

Made to “twist”.

Brush

Made to “twist” or “push.

Power / Motor / Clock

Made to “twist” and exerts torque over many turns. Supplied in retainer. (bottom picture shows a power spring removed from its retainer).

Constant Force Spring Motor

Made to “twist” by exerting close-to-constant torque over many turns.

Extension

Made to “pull” wide load and deflection ranges.

Drawbar

Made to “pull” with a built-in stop (compression spring deflected to solid).

Constant Force

Made to “pull” for very long deflection applications at a constant load or rate.

Retaining Ring / Snap Ring

Made to “push” or “pull” (resist) axial loads like those created by power springs.

Garter

Extension

Made to “pull” with radial pressure.

Compression

Made to “push” with radial pressure.
