Aramax Engineering produces a large number of conically-tapered compression
springs. Our Conical Springs are designed to provide a near constant
spring rate and a solid height lower than a normal spring. Each
spring features a variable pitch to achieve the constant spring
rate and coils which nest during deflection to provide a solid
height approximately equal to two wire diameters.
Tapered springs are characterized not only by their shape, but
also by the fact that they are more laterally stable and less
liable to buckle than regular compression springs. There is a
necessary increase in the applied force to compress a tapered
spring due to the flexibility of the larger-diameter coils causing
progressive contact with one another. This characteristic can
be a plus for spring-supported vibrating objects by reducing the
resonant (bouncing) amplitudes commonly found in constant-diameter,
spring-supported systems. Probably its most beneficial characteristic
is that it can be designed so that each active coil fits within
the next, with the solid height equal to one or two thicknesses
of wire.
