What is a heavy-duty compression spring?
A heavey-duty compression spring is a cylindrical coil spring that generates spring force through compression. When force is applied, the spring is compressed; once the load is removed, it returns in a controlled manner to its original shape. Heavy-duty compression springs are designed for applications requiring high force and long stroke, such as heavy structures, industrial installations, or vehicles subjected to dynamic loads.
The amount of force a compression spring delivers during compression is determined by the spring rate, a key parameter that defines the relationship between force and displacement.
Where are heavy-duty compression springs used?
Purchasing heavy-duty compression springs from De Spiraal means choosing proven performance across a wide range of industries, including:
- Mechanical engineering: Used in press installations, industrial clamping systems, and shock absorbers. Thanks to their high spring force, they provide accurate force absorption, motion control, and structural stability in heavy machinery.
- Agricultural engineering: Suitable for use in seed drills, balers, hydraulic units, and suspension systems of agricultural vehicles. Heavy-duty compression springs improve shock absorption, support heavy loads on rough terrain, and contribute to the efficiency of agricultural machinery.
- Offshore & Marine: Applied in valves, pumps, lifting equipment, and vibration dampers. These springs withstand corrosive environments, high forces, and fluctuating loads, crucial under extreme weather and operating conditions at sea.
- Defence & Aerospace: Used in precision applications such as landing gear, weapon systems, and military vehicles. They provide reliable spring force under high loads and continue to function under extreme thermal and mechanical conditions over long periods.
Why choose a heavy-duty compression spring?
Our heavy-duty compression springs are engineered for high loads and long-term performance. They combine powerful spring action with excellent durability, even in demanding environments. Through customisation in dimensions, materials, and post-treatment, we always provide a solution that fits your application.
This includes stainless steel compression springs for corrosion-resistant applications or carbon steel compression springs for maximum strength. Our modern production methods, such as CNC coiling and thermal post-treatment, ensure consistent quality and dimensional accuracy.
Whether you need a single prototype or a large production run, De Spiraal enables you to order heavy-duty compression springs quickly and reliably, perfectly matched to your requirements.
Advantages of our heavy-duty compression springs
- Wide range of options: We supply both standard heavy-duty compression springs and unique custom-made springs. From single prototypes to series of thousands of units, all volumes are possible.
- High-quality materials: Depending on your requirements and operating conditions, we use stainless steel, high-grade spring steel, heat-resistant alloys, and non-ferrous materials such as phosphor bronze. This makes our springs suitable for high temperatures, chemical exposure, and corrosive environments.
- Custom manufacturing: Our springs are produced using modern techniques such as CNC coiling, tumbling, barrel polishing, and thermal post-treatment. This ensures high dimensional accuracy, excellent mechanical properties, and consistent quality.
- Fast delivery: Standard models are available directly from stock. For custom solutions, we offer short lead times supported by flexible production planning and capacity.
- Technical expertise: Our engineers support you with design, material selection, and technical specifications. We proactively collaborate with you to develop the best possible spring solution, from concept to final product.
