✓ Spring rate (force required to compress a specific distance).
✓ Wire diameter.
✓ Coil diameter.
✓ Number of active coils.
✓ Free length (length of the spring when unloaded).

These factors determine the spring's performance and suitability for specific applications.
Common applications for compression springs encompass automotive systems (valve springs, shock absorbers), industrial machinery (clutch springs, pressure relief valves), and consumer products (pen springs, mattress springs). They are also used in aerospace, medical, and agricultural equipment due to their reliability and durability.
Selecting the right compression spring involves considering factors such as required load, operating environment, and desired lifespan. Consulting with a spring manufacturer or engineer can help ensure optimal performance and safety.
