Compression springs are designed and used to resist applied compressive forces
or to store energy in the push mode. Compression springs are the most common
spring configuration and are found in many applications such as automotive, aerospace
and consumer goods.
The most widely used form of compression spring is the straight cylindrical
spring made from round wire; however, shaped wire may be used, such as square or
rectangular. Many other forms are produced. Conical, barrel, hourglass or straight
cylindrical with or without variable spacing between coils are available. Such configurations
are used to reduce solid height, buckling and surging, or to produce nonlinear load
deflection characteristics. Energy storage is greater for rectangular wire compression
springs, also called die springs, however round wire rates can be increased if springs
are nested inside one another. Rectangular wire is used to reduce solid height or
increase the space efficiency of the design. Most die springs are made from rectangular
wire for this reason. It should also be noted that most compression springs
have closed and ground ends, although there are other end configurations available
depending on the particular application.
In applications where space is limited and particularly where solid height is restricted,
springs designed from rectangular wire are often used. These springs are commonly
referred to as die springs. Die springs store more energy in a smaller space than
equivalent round-wire springs. Even though stress distribution around the rectangular
cross section is not as uniform as the round wire section, the energy storage capacity
is higher because more material can be incorporated into the allocated space.
