Uses of Conical Spring and Helical Spring in Different Industry

Conical spring

As the name suggests, the conical spring is a cone-shaped compression spring where the larger end is designed to work in a bore, while the smaller end works over a rod. Because of its shape it has less solid height than a straight compression spring, particularly when the spring is able to ‘telescope’.

Every conical spring has a variable pitch which achieves a constant spring rate. The coils nest during deflection to provide a height of about two wire diameters – useful when the spring needs to fit in tight places.

Conical springs create an increasing force instead of the constant force found in straight springs. That kind of pitch also reduces vibration.

They are laterally stable and have fewer tendencies to buckle standard compression springs.

At MSM we can manufacture conical springs in a wide variety of materials and finishes to your exact specifications.

Helical spring

Probably the most common spring, the helical spring is made by winding strips of round wire, although other shapes can be used, around a cylinder so the coil diameter is constant and has a uniform pitch.

 At MSM, we make helical springs with between 1 and 1,000 coils using a wide variety of materials and finishes.

Because of our use of high quality materials coupled with accurate designs, Marshal helical springs tend to outlast those of the competition.

No matter what kind of spring you need, conical or helical springs, Marshall Spring puts its 50+ years of experience to work for you so you get exactly the spring you need made to your exacting specifications. Our mission is to provide you the best possible spring at the most reasonable price.
