A custom coil spring is an open helical spring that offers resistance to a compressive force. Custom coil springs are usually coiled as a constant diameter cylinder.  Most coil springs with material diameters under three-eighths inch are cold coiled.  Almost all custom coil springs using over five-eighths in. are hot coiled.  There is an overlapping [...]

A torsion or double torsion is another name for a helical springs used to apply torque or store rotational energy. Torque by definition is a force that produces rotation. A torsion spring exerts a force (torque) in a circular arc, and the arms rotate about the central axis. The stress is in bending, not in torsion. [...]

Compression springs are manufactured and designed to create resistance to a compressive force. To ensure complete compliance to your specifications, manufacturers use state-of-the-art equipment to monitor and control the length of these coil springs during the manufacturing process.
Grinding
Compression spring ends often are ground to increase operational life and to allow the spring to sit squarely [...]
