6I-3666: 15.4 Mm Diameter Compression Spring

A compression spring is a type of mechanical spring designed and constructed to resist the compressive load or from applied to it. When a compressive force is applied, the coils are compressed and the spring stores the energy. Compression springs are very commonly used in a wide range of applications that require shock absorption, support weight, or maintain tension between two objects. The shape of the compression spring is cylindrical, with helical coil that is tightly wound to resist compression. Attributes: • Springs meet or exceeds current standards and material grades. • Both ends are closed and grounded to improve seating. • Right-Hand directionally wound coil. Applications: A compression spring is used in a governor to control the engine speed by altering the fuel flow. Used in anything that requires stored energy within machines and in workshops. Compression springs come in varieties to suit the needs including barrel, conical and double cone springs.
