Compression Springs

Disc springs (also called Belleville springs) are geometrically a cylindrical washer with a slightly conical shape. It is used as compression spring and is the best solution when forces are high and travel relatively limited. This type of springs can or in parallel, which increases travel and/or force.

Multi-coil wave springs are made from flat-rolled spring wire that is coiled to a helical shape and the coils are at the same time given a sinus shaped wave form. The force-deflection relation is created by flattening out the wave form when the spring is compressed. The function is hence like a helically shaped leaf spring.

Lesjöfors’ range of standard springs consists of over 10,000 different items. Our highly efficient store of standard springs guarantees high delivery reliability. All our standard springs have been posted as 3D CAD models, and are available for downloading.

Many applications require two similar springs, but with one right-hand coiled and one left-hand coiled. In some cases, these two springs can be combined into a double spring, which has one right and one left-hand coiled spring body connected to each other.
