Compression Springs

Compression springs are designed to create resistance to a compressive force. The Newcomb Spring Corporation uses state-of-the-art equipment to monitor and control the length of these coil springs during the manufacturing process to ensure complete compliance to your specifications.

Standard compression spring bodies are:
- open-coiled
- helical shaped
- usually coiled with a constant diameter, though they can be produced
in hourglass, cone and barrel shapes

Newcomb Spring's material size range is .004-inches to 2.0 inches for the manufacturing of compression springs. We are capable of producing parts out of:
- round wire
- square wire
- rectangular wire
- special section wire

Grinding
Compression spring ends are often ground to increase operational life and to allow the spring to sit squarely on the load-bearing surface. Grinding also increases the number of active coils and the wire diameter available in a given volume of space which can result in higher loads or lower stresses. Our facilities operate with a wide variety of equipment - from hand-operated grinding tools to automatic, high-speed vertical spindle disc grinders.

Design
There are many issues related to the design of a compression spring that should be considered, as these relate directly to the spring's performance. Manufacturing tolerance requirements, squareness of ends, deflection and the slenderness ratio are often overlooked in the design process. Newcomb's sales and engineering staff will gladly review your compression spring specifications. We can offer design assistance and recommend the best options to control costs and ensure the spring functions to fit your needs.

Material Considerations
With eight ISO-certified manufacturing plants and a special facility focused on the needs of our customers in Mexico and Latin America, Newcomb is ready to manufacture the parts that you need. We offer design assistance, custom-packaging and consistently produce springs and metal forms which are 100% compliant to order specifications. While we can manufacture coil springs, wire forms and stamped parts using virtually any material, the standard materials we use in the spring manufacturing process are:

Order Information
As with all Newcomb Spring produced parts, we can customize and manufacture any component to fit your needs. For over 100 years we have offered great prices, high quality and total customer satisfaction.
