Compression Springs & Air Springs #4972889

Advanex Americas is a leading manufacturer of extension springs which are helical springs designed to absorb and store energy by offering resistance to a pulling force. Extension springs are used in a variety of applications including automotive, aerospace, medical and commercial. Our extension springs can be produced with wire diameters of .005 .320 and end type designs include full loops, German or machine hooks, English or cross-over hooks and extended hooks.

Compression springs are an open-coil helical spring that offers resistance to a compressive force applied axially. Compression springs are usually coiled as a constant diameter-cylinder. Other common forms of compression springs such as conical, concave, (barrel, ) convex (hourglass) or various combinations of these are used as required by the application. While square, rectangular or special-section wire may have to be specified, round wire is predominant in compression springs because it is readily available and adaptable to standard coiler tooling. Compression springs should be stress-relieved to remove residual forming stresses produced by the coiling operation. Advanex Americas can produce compression springs with wire diameters of .005 .320 in a variety of materials and specifications.

Wire forms have infinite uses and possess an equally large array of shapes and sizes. Wire forms can be anything from a load supporting link with negligible deflection to a tension applying component where a static load is necessary for proper function of an assembly. They perform similar functions as conventional flat springs.
