Conical Compression Spring
Stock sizes in stainless steel
SPEC conical springs are cone shaped compression springs designed to
provide a near constant spring rate and a solid height lower than a normal
spring. Each spring features a variable pitch to achieve the constant
spring rate and coils which nest during deflection to provide a solid
height approximately equal to two wire diameters.
All springs are manufacturer from stainless steel for use in a multitude of
environments.
Material
Stainless Steel Type 302 per ASTM A313 or AMS 5688 spring temper. (Chemical
and physical only.)
Stainless steel springs are not recommended for applications where
the temperature exceeds 260 deg. C (500 deg. F).
No charge for certificate of conformance when requested. Certificate
of chemical analysis available, at additional charge.
Finish
Standard finish is that of the normal wire.
Direction of Helix
Right hand.
Ends
Squared ends not ground. 
Spring Rate
The spring rate is linear due to the variable pitch.
Coils
Springs are designed to permit active coils to nest within each other.
This provides a solid height of approximately two wire diameters.
Solid Height
Due to coil nesting, the solid height is approximately equal to two
wire diameters. |
