    Compression Springs

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Compression Springs.
    Squeeze these springs and they’ll push right back to their original length. When compressed, they apply steady pressure to keep components securely in place. Release the pressure and they snap back instantly, just like the tip of a ballpoint pen.
    Spring Steel—Strong and resilient, but best suited for dry environments since moisture will cause these springs to rust.
    Corrosion-Resistant 302 Stainless Steel—Won’t corrode from exposure to moisture and mild chemicals, including ammonia often found in cleaning solutions. These springs are easier to compress than steel, but can’t handle as high a load.

    Ultra-Shock-Absorbing Rubber Compression Springs

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Compression Springs. Ultra-Shock-Absorbing Rubber Compression Springs.
    Best for taking the hardest hits with minimal compression, these stout springs absorb more shock than any other spring we offer. The largest absorbs 17,000 in·lbf of energy, which is the force of a 20-lb. sledgehammer strike. Made from a polyester/rubber blend, they stay springy longer than metal and plastic springs—with documented cases up to one million cycles. They also stand up to oils, fuels, and mild cleaning solutions.
    Secure by inserting a fastener through the hole at the base.
    Hardness—As the durometer gets higher, the springs absorb more energy but compress less.
