Compression springs are open wound helical springs that exert a load or force when compressed. They may be cylindrical, conical, barrel and hourglass shaped. Various combinations of different shapes are used as required by the application. Round wire is predominately used in compression springs because it is readily available and adaptable to standard coiler tooling. Square, rectangular, or special section wire may also have to be specified. Ends can either be closed or open. Ends can also be ground or unground.
