Wire forms are custom-shaped wires designed for various functions. Though they may not look like typical springs, they still exert force to serve spring-like purposes.
COMPRESSION SPRING
Compression springs work in “push mode” under a compressive load. Variable coil pitch can reduce solid height, buckling, and surging, creating non-linear deflection.
CONICAL SPRING
Conical springs are compression springs with a tapered, cone-like shape. Their coils telescope into each other to reduce solid height, making them ideal for space-limited applications.
EXTENSION SPRING
Extension springs are tightly wound coils that resist pulling forces by storing energy. They typically have hooks or loops at the ends and provide force when stretched.
