What Are Compression Springs?
Compression springs offer resistance along the axis when there is an application of compressive force, as the name would suggest. In fact, these springs are considered the most efficient in terms of energy storage and one of the most versatile too.
How Do Compression Springs Work?
Compressions springs will try to push back to return to its original position when a load is applied. These helical springs can store energy or resist force, depending on the requirements of a specific application and use.
