Conical Compression Springs

As a global spring manufacturer, we offer both off-the-shelf conical compression springs in our spring catalogue and custom conical compression springs for applications that demand a tailored solution. 

With over 70 years of experience, European Springs & Pressings Ireland supplies conical compression springs for space-restricted, performance-critical applications. 

What are the properties of conical compression springs?

Conical compression springs, also known as volute, cone, or tapered springs, are characterised by their tapered shape, where the coil diameter gradually decreases from one end to the other. 

Each individual coil has its own natural frequency, so overall resonance at specific frequencies is reduced compared to a standard cylindrical compression spring. 

As trusted conical spring manufacturers, customers frequently select conical compression springs for the following benefits: 

 

  • Ideal for applications with limited space. 
  • Improved stability due to the tapered design. 
  • Variable spring rates are particularly useful where minimal deflection is required at maximum load. 
  • Lower overall resonance when exposed to vibration at certain frequencies. 
  • Highly versatile, with spring performance adjustable through changes to pitch, coil diameter, or number of coils. 

 

These characteristics make conical compression springs suitable for both static and dynamic load applications. 

Do I Need Custom Conical Compression Springs?

f your application has specific or uncommon requirements, we can design and manufacture custom conical compression springs to meet your needs. 

Custom options can include: 

  • Non-standard taper angles. 
  • Progressive or variable spring rates. 
  • Alternative materials for enhanced corrosion resistance or high-temperature performance. 
  • Special end forms or surface treatments. 

 

Before requesting custom springs, we recommend reviewing pages 42-44 of our catalogue to see whether a suitable stock option is available.
