Compression spring sizes
Compression spring sizes, depending on the mechanical equipment used, can be customized to different sizes of springs. Let’s briefly understand the basic parameters of the spring:
Style | Coil |
Load Type | Compression |
Shape | cylindrical |
Material | Carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel wire, galvanized steel wire or according to customer requirements |
Certificate | ISO:9001:2015, IATF16946:2016 |
Compression Spring Sizes | 1 inch,2 inch,3 inch,4 inch,5 inch,6 inch,8 inch,12 inch,14 inch,34 inch or according to customer requirements |
Surface treatment: | Electrophoresis, stainless steel, nickel plating, electroplating, galvanizing, spraying, blackening, etc |

Compression spring sizes and parameters:
- Length: When referring to a 1-inch compression spring, the “1 inch” here usually refers to the free length of the spring, that is, the length of the uncompressed, but it should be noted that the actual length of the spring may vary depending on the design, use and material.
- Other parameters: In addition to the length, the parameters of the compression spring also include diameter, wire diameter, stiffness, pressure and height. These parameters will collectively determine the performance and use of the spring.
Compression spring sizes, such as the above table parameters, although different sizes, but their applications in various fields are similar, but the specific application scenario and the required bearing capacity, stiffness and other characteristics will be different, The following is a summary of the possible application areas according to the compression spring size.
Small compression spring sizes (such as 1 inch, 2 inch, 3 inch, 4 inch)
- Precision instruments and equipment: These small compression springs are commonly used in precision instruments and equipment, such as internal connections of electronic products, micro mechanical devices, fine parts of medical devices, etc. They require high accuracy and stability to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
- Hand tools and toys: Small compression springs are also commonly used in hand tools and toys, such as spring clips, toy guns, spring pens, etc., to provide the necessary elasticity and rebound effect.
- Consumer goods: In the field of consumer goods, small compression springs are also used in various daily items, such as spring mattresses in furniture, spring frames in sofas, etc., to improve the comfort and durability of products.
Medium compression spring sizes(Such as 5 inches, 6 inches, 8 inches)
- Automotive and mechanical equipment: Medium sized compression springs are often used in suspension systems and shock absorbers of automotive and mechanical equipment to provide stable support and shock absorption.
- Home appliances: In the field of home appliances, such as washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners and other equipment, medium-size compression springs are also used in various mechanical parts to ensure the normal operation and stability of the equipment.
- Sports goods: In sports equipment, medium sized compression springs are also used in sports equipment, protective equipment, etc., to provide sports support and comfort.
Large compression spring sizes (Such as 12 inches, 14 inches, 34 inches)
- Heavy machinery and industrial equipment: Large-size compression springs are commonly used in heavy machinery and industrial equipment, such as large presses, cranes, excavators, etc., to withstand large loads and provide stable support.
- Building structures and Bridges: In the field of construction, large-size compression springs can be used to control, adjust and support the deformation and displacement of structures, such as damping devices for Bridges, seismic supports for tall buildings, etc.
- Transportation: In the field of transportation, large-size compression springs are also used in vehicle shock absorption systems, braking systems, etc., to improve vehicle safety and comfort.
In practical applications, the selection and use of compression springs need to be determined according to specific application scenarios and requirements. At the same time, different sizes of compression springs will also be different in material selection, manufacturing process, performance characteristics, etc., to meet the needs of different fields.
