What is a conical compression spring?
Conical compression springs are a type of compression spring with a conical design, where the outer diameter at one end is smaller than at the other. This unique design provides more efficient force distribution and makes them ideal for applications where compact and space-saving solutions are required.
In contrast to conventional compression springs, which have a constant diameter, conical compression springs offer functional advantages such as gradual resilience and improved stability under high loads. Thanks to their smart design, they can be pressed to a minimum height without sacrificing power and performance. This makes them suitable for a variety of

Applications of a conical compression spring
Agricultural: In the agricultural industry, conical compression springs are often used in machines such as plows, combines, and balers. Due to their ability to function efficiently under different loads, these springs help control the force on various parts of the machine, making them more robust and reliable. The variable force of the conical compression spring can also help absorb shocks and absorb vibrations, which is essential in tough, irregular working conditions.
medical: The conical compression spring finds its way into medical devices because of precision and reliability. It is often used in systems such as injectors, dosing devices or surgical instruments, where precise and controlled force is required. The compact design is ideal for integrating into smaller devices, while the spring ensures consistent performance during use. In addition, it is resistant to corrosion, which is important for applications in sterile and hygienic environments.
Lighting technology: In lighting technology, conical compression springs are used in mechanisms such as dimmers, switches or lamps with adjustable angles. They provide the power required to smoothly move or adjust the various components in the lighting. Due to the gradual development of force, conical compression springs are also ideal for applications where a constant voltage is required to ensure perfect lighting operation.
Mechanical engineering: In mechanical engineering, conical compression springs are used in a wide range of applications, from damping to force control in moving parts. They are used in machines such as pressing machines, CNC machines and production lines, where the spring can help regulate the force applied to various parts. This contributes to improving the precision and stability of the machine, as well as reducing wear.
Benefits of a conical compression spring
The conical compression spring is ideal for applications where saving space is key. Due to their conical shape, they can be used efficiently in systems where available space is limited. The function is similar to that of a conventional compression spring, with the advantage of a variable force during compression. Thanks to the conical shape, the force is evenly distributed over the entire spring, which ensures more stable operation, even under irregular or dynamic loads. These springs can be custom-made, with the dimensions and strength being precisely tailored to the specific requirements of the system. They can withstand repeated loads and maintain resilience over extended periods of use, making them a cost-effective solution for demanding applications.
