Conical tapered compression springs are made from round spring tempered wire with a unique cone-shaped profile, featuring a body that tapers from a larger outer diameter at the base to a smaller outer diameter at the top. This structural arrangement not only boosts the spring’s ability to absorb shocks, but also prevents the issues associated with bending or buckling that are common in traditional compression springs by giving it a larger outer diameter base thus giving the conical compression spring more stable footing. Design benefits like a telescoping structure in that the smaller diameter coils when compressed, nestle inside the bigger diameter coils permitting the length of the conical spring to telescope down to practically one wire diameter of height this is especially important in applications where vertical space is limited, but large compressive forces are needed, as the tapered shape allows the spring to compress into a compact form without loss of stability.
