Springs
Springs
Springs, or coiled springs, produce energy by compressing or extending - this energy applies force on the desired application component that keeps it in place. There are several types of coiled springs with unique designs that allow the springs to provide different energy. A compression spring keeps components in place when it is pressed together by pushing back against them (like a pen in writing position), while an extension spring pulls components back together to secure their positions (like a screen door pulling the door back shut). Wire springs are ideal in applications where components need to return to original positions upon release of pressure.
Huyett offers compression springs in free lengths of 0.62in. - 0.94in. and outside diameters of 0.11in - 0.42in., providing standard duty capacity for small applications
Die springs - a heavier duty subtype of a compression spring - can stabilize components in their compressed or original state, depending on the application
Standard duty extension springs are available in steel and stainless steel with passivated, plain, and zinc clear finishes
Leg springs, or torsion springs, feature legs that rotate to reduce the spring diameter, creating tension around the application component
