What is a steel compression spring?
A steel compression spring is a spiral spring that is designed to store force when compressed and releases this energy when the pressure is released. Because they are made of steel, these springs have a combination of strength, elasticity and durability. Due to the specific composition of the steel, they can withstand repeated stress and long-term use without losing their resilience.
De Spiral offers various options where compression springs can be produced, for example, different sizes and strength classes, depending on the requirements of the specific application. Due to their robust properties, they can be used in demanding environments where reliability and consistency are important.
Why choose steel compression springs?
Steel compression springs are known as reliable springs. Thanks to the considerable pressure that they can withstand without deforming, this makes them ideal for heavy duty applications in, among others, the offshore and maritime sector, industrial mechanical engineering, but also in highly precise industries such as the medical sector
In addition, at De Spiral, we have a large stock of materials from which steel compression springs can be produced. This includes different types of spring steel and stainless steel (1.4310, 1.4401, 1.4568). This not only strengthens the reliability of our products, but also yours. Thanks to a reliable spring with a long lifespan and quality material, you are assured of a reliable machine or equipment.

Applications of steel compression springs
Industrial machine building: Steel compression springs play a crucial role in storing and regulating mechanical energy. They are used in a wide range of machines, from production lines to heavy industrial installations. Examples of specific applications include: pressing machines, automation systems, locking mechanisms and safety valves. In these applications, compression springs help to dampen vibrations, absorb shocks, and maintain appropriate strength and stability in machines. This in turn contributes to efficient operation, longer equipment life and consistent product quality.
Offshore and maritime: In this industry, compression springs are essential for ensuring the safety and operation of systems that are exposed to extreme environmental conditions. Examples of specific applications include: drilling installations, shock & vibration damping, submarine systems & pipelines and hydraulic systems.
Medical industry: Equipment precision and reliability is crucial in a variety of medical devices. Compression springs for this industry are made from high-quality materials, which are essential for applications in sterile and demanding environments. They are found in various medical devices such as: nursing devices, dialysis systems, dental equipment and injection systems. Compression springs not only help improve the performance of medical devices, but also play a crucial role in promoting the safety and effectiveness of medical treatments.
Benefits of our steel compression springs
In short, steel compression springs are more robust, durable and optimal for demanding applications. Important for this are their high resilience and wear resistance, which make them resistant to heavy loads and long-term use. Depending on the material chosen, the steel compression spring can be used in high or low temperature environments without significantly reducing performance.
