A compression spring is an open-coil spring that opposes any compressive force that is applied to it. In most cases, these springs are coiled at a constant and uniform diameter. Across applications, compression springs are installed over rods or into circular holes. How they work Compression springs function as an elastic coil – when placed under pressure, they shorten in length and store energy. The stored energy helps the springs maintain their form while also opposing the applied pressure. Ultimately, the springs return to their uncompressed length when the … Continue reading What is a compression spring
