Conical compression springs are springs that have large diameters that cone down to smaller diameters. Also known as tapered springs, these springs provide a near-constant rate and, because of their ability to telescope, can provide a lower solid height than a normal compression spring.
These springs are commonly found in electronics as battery connectors, but due to their stability, they are also used in machinery, such as lawnmowers and other industrial equipment like stamping presses. They are used in medical devices for a range of functions.
How to Measure The Conical Tapered Spring
Some uses for conical compression springs and compressions coil are as follows:
Small Solid Height: A Conical spring can be designed so that each active coil fits within the next coil, so the solid height can be equal to one or two thickness of wire. This is useful where the solid height is limited.
Variable Rate: These springs offer a constant, or uniform pitch, and have an increasing force rate instead of a constant force rate (regular compression springs). The larger coils gradually begin to bottom as a force is applied. A variable pitch can be designed to give a uniform rate if necessary.
Stability: Conical compression offers more lateral stability and less tendency to buckle than regular compression springs.
Vibration: Resonance and vibration is reduced because Conical Compression springs have a uniform pitch and an increasing natural period of vibration (instead of a constant) as each coil bottoms.
