Conical springs
A conical springs is usually a conical compression spring that, due to its unique shape, is considered to be more stable than similar springs such as stretch springs.
The main body of the conical spring is conical, the outer diameter of the bottom is larger, and the outer diameter of the top is smaller. These common conical springs are manufactured in this shape to provide stability when bent or bent. If the coil is designed correctly, the spring will also have the effect of a telescope. Make the helix one inside the other, thus having the smallest physical height.

Small conical compression springs can be seen in many devices, regardless of whether the device is large or small, small conical springs can be installed in a part of the mechanical device to complete semi-automated tasks. With the right materials, these springs can also be used for connections, so you can find them in the part of the remote control or other battery device where the battery is installed.
Stock cone springs are also very useful in reducing the height of the entity, they have a telescopic effect, and mean that when the spring deflections, the smaller coil sinks into the larger coil. It does not have to be flat, only the average diameter of the smaller coil matches the inside diameter of the larger coil, saving space.
Compared with conventional compression springs, they are designed to provide a constant spring rate and reduce the height of solids. The following are the characteristics and applications of conical springs:
- Cone: The diameter of the coil gradually decreases from one end of the spring to the other end, forming a cone.
- Variable spring rate: Because of their shape, conical springs are able to provide variable spring rates, which is very useful in applications where progressive forces or buffering are required.
- Compact solid height: When fully compressed, the coils will be nested within each other, and the solid height is short compared to the cylindrical compression spring.
- Stability: Compared with ordinary compression springs, conical provides greater lateral stability and resistance to buckling.
Miniature conical springs have a wide range of applications, including general industrial, aerospace, automotive, medical, etc., and we have a variety of different conical springs, which can be customized according to your needs, and can also provide a variety of surface treatment processes.
Specific application scenarios of conical springs:
- Automobile: Conical springs are often used in suspension systems to provide better stability and ride comfort.
- Aerospace: Mainly used for landing gear and other critical components that need to save space and weight.
- Industrial equipment: used for machinery and equipment requiring reliable and compact spring mechanisms.
- Consumer goods: For a variety of products requiring compact and effective force, such as pens, electronic products and appliances.
Conical compression spring design precautions:
- Material: According to the application requirements, the commonly used materials include stainless steel, carbon steel and various alloys.
- Manufacturing tolerances: Accurate control of spring tolerances is crucial, especially in high-stress and high-precision applications, where small dimensional deviations can lead to changes in performance and failure.
- Spring speed: Designers need to carefully calculate the speed of the spring to ensure that it can meet the force and deflection requirements of the application.
- Environmental factors: the impact of the environment on the spring can not be ignored, and it needs to be taken into consideration when designing, such as corrosion resistance, temperature resistance and fatigue life factors are very important.
Conical springs have a unique conical design, which provides clear advantages in applications where space, stability and variable force are key factors. They provide progressive spring rates and compact solids heights. Making it ideal for a wide range of industries from automotive and aerospace to consumer goods and industrial equipment.Conical springs for sale, welcome the need of customers to inquire.
