A compression spring is made to compress, so the coils are spaced wide enough to give room for compression. An extension spring is made to extend, so the coils touch in their unstretched position.

The dimensions, along with the load and deflection requirements, determine the stresses in the spring. When a compression spring is loaded, the coiled wire is stressed in torsion. The stress is ...

The spring clamp terminal block with compression-mount contacts by METZ CONNECT is ideally suited for compact, low profile wall-mount devices. SC303/SC305 features a clip in foot system that enables ...

There are three types of compression spring commonly used: unground, ground, and ground and squared. (Ground springs have the top and bottom coils machined to be flat.
