Compression springs
The compression spring is a robust and reliable spring that absorbs and returns force when compressed. This makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, from everyday products to industrial machinery.

The compression spring is probably the best-known type of spring. It is a spirally wound spring that absorbs force when compressed, which is why it is also called a ‘coil spring’. Compression springs are used in countless applications: from industrial machines to ballpoint pens and door handles. Without even noticing, you encounter dozens of products or systems every day that incorporate a compression spring.
From mechanical engineering to medical precision: our compression springs make the difference. In mechanical engineering, they provide perfect damping and stability by effortlessly absorbing shocks and vibrations. In the offshore and maritime sector, they regulate pressure and protect installations against extreme conditions. In the medical sector, they guarantee the accurate functioning of equipment and implants.
But that's not all: our compression springs also contribute to energy recovery and reduce maintenance costs, making machines more efficient and sustainable. Reliable, wear-resistant and designed for top performance in every sector.
The performance of a compression spring is largely determined by the spring constant, which indicates how much force is required to compress the spring. Depending on the desired force build-up and available space, you can choose between standard compression springs or customised variants that are tailored precisely to your application.
We supply cylindrical, conical and barrel-shaped compression springs, both customized and according to standard dimensions. The compression springs can be produced in various wire shapes, pitch configurations and with various post-treatments, tailored to the load and desired spring characteristics.
We produce compression springs from various materials, including spring steel, stainless steel (302, 316), Inconel, phosphor bronze and copper alloys. The choice of materials depends on factors such as corrosion resistance, temperature resistance and fatigue load.
For standard compression springs, the delivery time is usually 2 to 5 business days. Custom compression springs have a delivery time of 1 to 3 weeks, depending on complexity, numbers and choice of materials. Express delivery and prototyping are also possible in consultation.
A compression spring is a helical spring that exerts force when pressed. Compression springs are used to absorb movement, provide damping or push mechanical parts back to their original position. They are essential in valves, switches, machines, medical devices and automotive systems, among others.
Yes, we specialize in custom compression springs. Based on your specifications, such as force, pitch, outer diameter, working temperature and application, we design a compression spring that exactly meets your needs. Do you not have a drawing, but do you have an existing product? Even then, we can provide you with expert advice.
