Taper Spring

Taper Springs for Industrial Applications

Our taper springs, also known as conical or barrel springs, are designed to meet the demands of various industrial applications. With a wide range of sizes and specifications available, our taper springs provide exceptional performance in compact spaces.

Application

  • Automotive Industry: Used in suspension systems and clutch assemblies for their ability to absorb shock and vibration.
  • Electronics: Ideal for battery contacts and push-button applications due to their compact design.
  • Industrial Machinery: Provide consistent pressure in valves and actuators, enhancing machinery performance.

Features

  • Space Efficiency: Taper springs are designed to compress to a shorter height than standard compression springs, making them ideal for applications with limited space.
  • Variable Stiffness: The conical shape allows for a variable rate of compression, offering more resistance as the spring is compressed, which is beneficial in applications requiring gradual load handling.
  • Durability: Made from high-quality materials, our taper springs are designed to withstand high stress and provide reliable performance over time.
  • Customizable: We offer customization options to meet your specific needs, including different materials, coatings, and sizes.

Frequently Asked Question

Q: What are the main applications for taper springs?

A: Taper springs are used in a variety of applications where space efficiency and gradual load handling are crucial. Common uses include automotive suspension systems, electrical contacts, and devices requiring variable resistance such as pressure relief valves and load-bearing mechanisms.

Q: How do taper springs differ from standard compression springs?

A: Unlike standard compression springs, taper springs have a conical shape that allows them to compress to a smaller height. This shape provides variable stiffness, meaning the spring's resistance increases as it is compressed. This feature makes them ideal for applications where consistent force and space efficiency are needed​.

Q: Can taper springs be customized for specific applications?

A: Yes, taper springs can be customized in terms of material, size, and coil diameter to meet specific application requirements. This flexibility allows them to be tailored to unique industrial needs, providing optimal performance and reliability.
