Compression Springs
As you squeeze a compression spring, it pushes back to return to its original length. Rate is the amount of force required for every inch of compression or, for metric springs, millimeter of compression. The higher the rate, the harder it is to compress the spring.
Zinc-plated springs have mild corrosion resistance.
Springs with closed and ground ends sit flat, so they won’t buckle.

Corrosion-Resistant Compression Springs
These springs are more corrosion resistant than standard compression springs. They're also easier to compress than standard compression springs. As you squeeze a compression spring, it pushes back to return to its original length. Rate is the amount of force required for every inch of compression or, for metric springs, millimeter of compression. The higher the rate, the harder it is to compress the spring.
302 stainless steel springs have good corrosion resistance.

Corrosion-Resistant Precision Compression Springs
Made of stainless steel, these springs are more corrosion resistant than steel compression springs. They’re also easier to compress than steel compression springs. Use where tight OD and rate tolerances are required. Closed and ground ends allow the springs to sit flat, so they won’t buckle.

302 stainless steel springs have good corrosion resistance.
316 stainless steel springs have excellent corrosion resistance.

Precision Compression Springs
Use these springs where tight OD and rate tolerances are required. Closed and ground ends allow the springs to sit flat, so they won’t buckle. All are zinc plated for mild corrosion resistance.

Corrosion-Resistant Extension Springs with Loop Ends
Made of stainless steel, these springs are more corrosion resistant than steel springs. They're also easier to extend than steel springs. As you stretch an extension spring, it gets harder to pull. Minimum load is the amount of force required to start to extend the spring. Maximum load is the amount of force required to fully extend the spring. Rate is the amount of force required for every inch or millimeter of extension.
316 stainless steel springs have excellent corrosion resistance.
