Springs as we all know are elastic objects that can store mechanical energy in it and can also consequently release it when required. Now springs can be classified into many types, depending on the properties that each spring possesses. One such property on the basis of which springs are classified is the load that each spring carries. On the basis of the load that each spring can carry, springs can be divided into three types, which are tension spring also known as extension spring, torsion spring and lastly compression spring. So you should have some idea about the different types of compression springs.
About compression springs
Let us deal on the various types of compression springs. But before we start explaining its types you should at first know what a compression spring is. The name compression springs it self suggest that it is a spring that can be compressed. But when dealt in details it refers to a spring which is designed in such a way, that whenever any form of compressive load is applied on the these springs, the springs gets reduced in its size. Generally by compression springs we usually refer to the coil compression springs but that does not mean that all compression springs are coil compression springs. In fact there are many other types of springs and even certain other objects which resemble a spring that can be used as compression springs in certain special cases and applications.
