Compression Spring Applications
Posted by admin on Thu, 09/10/2009 - 12:50 in
A compression spring is a length of rod that has been molded to form a helical shape. It basically has the shape of the most common type of spring. It is also easily mistaken with an extension spring, which functions to achieve the opposite effect. A compression spring is like the one we find in our pens, chairs and other simple tools in the house. It is called a compression spring because it produces a force that negates an opposing force exerted on its top or bottom. Meaning it pushes that certain object that caused the change in the normal pressure when the spring is not influenced by an external force.
