A compression spring is a type of open-coil helical spring that offers resistance to a compressive force applied axially. Compression springs can be used for many applications and come in a vast variety of materials, finishes, gages, diameters, and shapes. At Wermke Spring, we are a custom compression spring manufacturer that can custom make any type of custom springs to meet your specifications in quantities as few as one spring up to millions of pieces. All of the compression springs that we manufacture offer high quality and meet the Spring Manufacturers Institute’s (SMI) standards and tolerance requirements.

More About Compression Springs
Custom compression springs are available in a wide variety of styles, sizes, materials, and designs in order to meet a diverse range of needs and applications. For example, compression springs can be made in several different shapes, using different types of materials and design fundamentals.
When selecting the type and style of spring that will meet your requirements, it is important to understand and remember that the dimensional tolerances together with the load and deflection requirements will determine the stress level of the spring. Additionally, it is extremely important to carefully consider the space allotted to ensure the proper function of the spring. At Wermke Spring, our spring technicians can consider your requirements and specifications in order to help you select the ideal compression spring design, material, and shape to meet your needs. As leading compression, helical, and valve spring manufactures, we can custom engineer and develop all types of springs for any need.
Several factors that are important to consider when selecting the best type and style of compression spring include:
- Shape: Most compression springs are typically made with a constant diameter. However, some other common shapes of compression springs can include conical, tapered, concave, and convex shaped springs.
- Material: The most common type of material used for manufacturing compression springs is round wire because it is readily available and adaptable to standard coiler tooling. However, a variety of other types of wire can be used instead in order to meet your specifications including square, rectangular, or any other special section of wire.
- Design: There are four basic styles of compression spring ends available. These include open ends, closed ends, open & ground ends, and closed & ground ends. Each of these styles has different benefits and advantages.

Die Springs: Heavy Duty Compression Springs
Die springs are a special type of heavy duty compression spring that are made using a rectangular wire or heavy gauge round wire. This construction results in a more durable spring that is perfectly suited for high stress applications especially die machinery. Die compression springs can also be used in a variety of additional applications as well.
At Wermke Spring, we can manufacture die springs in a variety of sizes in order to meet any specifications and requirements.
