SPRINGS & WIREFORMS
TENSION SPRING
Tension Springs/Extension Springs are helical wound coils, wrapped tightly together to create tension. Extension springs are springs which absorb and store energy by offering resistance to a pulling force. Extension springs usually have hooks, loops, or end coils that are pulled out and formed from each end of the body. The function of an extension spring is to provide extended force when the spring is pulled apart from its original length.
TORSION SPRING
Torsion Springs / Helical Coils Springs are designed to operate with torque / twisting / rotary force. A torsion spring is a spring that works by twisting its end along its axis. When it is twisted, it exerts a torque in the opposite direction, proportional to the amount (angle) it is twisted.
CONICAL SPRING
Conical springs are compression springs which are helically coiled round wires forming a tapered or conical shape. They are used to provide balance & reduce the solid height by the coils telescoping into each other. Conical springs are basically compression springs coiled in increasing or decreasing outer diameters thus making its shape a cone or tapered one. These springs tend to reduce solid height and provide stability. Conical Spring design enables each coil to fit within the next coil, which is a major advantage in applications where solid height is limited. It offers greater lateral stability that decreases the risk of buckling and the Uniform pitch reduces vibration and resonance.
WIREFORMS
Wire forms come in all sorts of shapes & sizes and each play different role. Wire forms are wires that have been bent into specific shapes, often to fulfil a particular purpose, one can commonly recognize wire form as a spring; though any shape that a wire takes is technically a wire form, other often seen wire forms include hooks and certain types of clips.

CLUTCH SPRING
COMPRESSION SPRING
Compression Springs are designed to operate with a compressive load in “Push Mode”. Compression Spring also has variable pitch between coils which are used to reduce solid height, buckling and surging to produce nonlinear load deflection characteristics. Compression springs offer resistance to linear compressing forces and are in fact one of the most efficient energy storage devices available.
