As leading coil spring manufacturers, we offer an incredibly high product quality. Unless otherwise specified by the customer, we follow a commercial tolerance policy. If precision is what you need, we can make it happen no matter the industry you’re in. Lead times vary depending on whether your spring is stock or custom. Stock springs are ready-made and will ship within a couple of days. For custom springs, we have to schedule them on our job calendar and adjust de machinery to create the spring to match your requirements. This means they may take anywhere from 3 to 5 weeks depending on the spring design and manufacturing specifications.
There are several material types available. Based on your application, you can select the best material to match your demands and environmental requirements. If your spring is enclosed in your device and doesn’t run the risk of being wet or exposed to temperatures higher than 250º Fahrenheit (121º Celsius), you can choose a high carbon spring wire. High carbons are not satisfactory for shock or impact loading. For these conditions, we recommend you use an alloy steel wire which is more resistant to conditions involving high stress. On the other side, if you need a corrosion resistant coil spring, we can supply springs made of stainless steel. There are 3 main types of stainless steel and each of them offer different temperature limitations as well as hardness/elasticity.

Compression springs are marked by their distinctive helical (or corkscrew) wire configuration. Their shape allows them to absorb compression loads because as the helix compresses, the spring shortens in length and resists compressive forces.
When compressed, they efficiently store large quantities of mechanical energy, which is released upon unloading the forces that compress the helical coil.
Compression springs are found in every industry's machine components, including Aerospace, Medical, Automotive, and Consumer goods. Century Spring offers an expansive selection of in-stock compressive springs available to ship today. We also have the expertise to design and manufacture custom compression springs to fit any mechanical application across the most demanding industries.

Century Spring offers the most extensive selection of stock springs. We are equipped with cutting-edge CNC self-monitoring, coiling machinery that enables the production of custom sizes and styles. This includes but is not limited to variable pitch springs and large compression springs. We also provide spring design & prototyping assistance. Our team's expertise and experience, coupled with our comprehensive toolset, are ready to support your project, no matter your stage in the design or production process.
Steel springs are the most common compression springs because their elasticity, durability, and strength make them perfect candidates for mechanical springs. Carbon Steel springs are an economical choice for applications with moderate loading requirements, while Stainless Steel springs are commonly found in wet applications that require corrosion resistance within the medical, aerospace, marine and food industries.
Furthermore, high-carbon steel, commonly called “music wire,” is a specialty steel that can resist high loads due to high tensile strength. It withstands higher stresses under repeated loading with great fatigue life. This material can also be easily plated. Check out our catalog for other available compression springs.
Spring Rate is formally defined as the load required to compress the spring 1.0 inch, typically measured in pounds (lb/in). It is determined by the spring’s wire diameter, the number of coils, and the diameter of its helical coils.
The larger the force required to compress the spring a given distance, the larger the spring rate. For example, a spring with a spring rate of 20 lb/in requires 20 lb of force to compress the spring 1.0 in.
To illustrate the principle of spring rate further, engineers design with a known load that the spring must be able to absorb. Machine designs typically have tight space or deflection envelopes in which the spring must operate. As a design engineer, you can use the spring rate on a particular spring and the geometry to calculate the deflection under design loading conditions. This information lets you easily determine whether such a spring will meet your space envelope design requirements and allowable deflection envelope.
Compression spring tolerances depend heavily on the exact spring type and geometry. As such, we have performed extensive empirical studies, which we have used to develop tolerance equations for different manufacturing techniques. We have combined these with the best industry standards to create general tolerance ranges for compression spring types and geometry, which can be seen below.
- Block tolerances do not apply to spring manufacturing
However, spring-specific tolerance calculations are complex and, as such, are fully integrated into our design and manufacturing automation software.
If you contact our design team today, we will gladly walk through spring-specific tolerance values with you to provide general tolerance values for your spring type and geometry!
Because of their versatility, compression springs are employed in countless machine designs across numerous industries and product categories.
Here are a few of the highlights across industries:
The company is the world’s best custom coil springs supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.
Compression springs are present in many medical devices, from surgical tools to orthopedic devices and even in medical implants such as implantable drug delivery systems.
They can be found in dozens of critical aerospace safety systems, the most recognizable being aircraft landing gear and braking systems.
They are also used in numerous automotive components and enable the precise timing required for internal combustion engines to operate effectively.
Finally, compression springs are integrated into many household consumer products, such as mattresses, door locks, and air conditioners.
Now that you know where to look, you’ll find that compression springs are relied on everywhere.
Standard compression springs are readily available in various sizes and specifications. However, if you determine that you need a custom-designed spring that we do not carry in stock, call us today at 800-237- us at , or fill out our custom quote form today!
Common materials for compression springs include music wire, different grades of stainless steel, and various alloys. Considering the corrosion resistance and your application's temperature and loading requirements is a great place to start when selecting the material.
To enhance the longevity of compression springs:
Optimize Design: Use larger wire diameters or lower final loads to minimize stress.
Shot Peening and Pre-Setting: Apply these techniques to increase durability and fatigue life.
Material and Environmental Protection: Choose suitable materials and treatments for specific environmental conditions.
Frequency Considerations: Ensure the operating frequency is significantly lower than the spring's natural frequency to avoid resonance issues.

Torsion Springs are engineered to resist twisting forces, as the name suggests. They are tightly wound wire coils that elastically unwind as they absorb torsional loads.
Stock Torsion Springs are available in body lengths up to 3.8” in steel, stainless steel, and music wire materials with multiple available surface finishes.
