Buying compression springs online can seem overwhelming if you don't know where to start. However, at CompressionSpring.com we make it easy to get your compression spring shopping done without any hassle. All you need to do is go to our online store and use our incredible tools to assist you. First decide if you need to purchase a custom or stock compression spring. Next, verify the dimensions or tolerances you require. Finally use the right tool to complete your search, select the springs you want and have them delivered to your door.
The following is a detailed breakdown of the process
Custom vs. Stock
Custom springs are common when the product requires very specific dimensions and has detailed demands. If the spring you need is very extravagant, is unusual, or demands very specific dimensions you will most likely require a custom spring. Now, if you have certain tolerances or a rough idea of the dimensions you would like it to have, and/or are looking for a standard spring, then a stock spring may be the thing you need. In this case you can use our Spring Finder to search our vast selection of stock springs and find similar springs that match your needs.
Basic Dimensions and Factors
Outer Diameter
The outer diameter is the width of your spring measured from outside the coil. Knowing this measurements is very important to make sure your spring fits in your application. Specially, when it is inserted into a hole or tube. If your compression spring needs to go into a hole you need to make sure that the outer diameter is smaller than the diameter of the hole. You can use this to search for a compression spring in stock that has that range of outer diameter. If you have an exact idea of the outer diameter measurement you need, then you can use this to design the spring you want.
Free Length
Free length is the actual length of a compression spring without any sort of load or force being placed on it. If you know the free length you need your spring to have, then it becomes easier to search for a stock compression spring or to design a custom one. When considering free length make sure you take two things into account. One, the space your spring has in the application so that you know whether the spring will fit when it is in its natural state. Two, the deflection and load you need your spring to withstand.
The amount of load you will place on your spring will have a direct effect in the spring’s compression. When a load or force is placed on a compression spring the length deflects. Based on the rate and free length, it will travel a certain distance and build resistance. Knowing what load you will place on the spring helps you define/narrow down other dimensions and attributes of your spring. It is not a mandatory value to be able to search for a stock spring but it will help to narrow down results and obtain a spring that works for you. It is also an important factor when designing an custom spring.
Find Stock Springs Fast
Spring Finder is a tool that allows you to input the dimension ranges you want to search by and immediately generates a list of the springs we have in stock that match your search. You can input as much or as little information as you want. The more fields you fill out, the more specific your search results will be. You no longer need to flip page after page trying to obtain a match and memorize or mark what pages on the heavy catalog have the springs that might work. You can just click on the springs that you want to take a look at, select the ones you want to compare, add the amount you want into your cart, quickly check out, and just wait for the springs to arrive.
