As an alternative for expensive material, often the wire/spring is made suitable for an application by use of a surface treatment. The most widely used surface treatments are: galvanising, phosphating, nickelling, chroming, powder-coating, tinning and silvering/gilding. Alcomex always carries out these treatments in consultation with specialised partners, in order to guarantee the quality of our spring products and solutions.

Technical

How does a compression spring work?

A compression spring works by resisting a compressive force applied to it. When you compress the spring, it stores mechanical energy by deforming. Once the force is released, the spring returns to its original shape, releasing the stored energy. This simple yet effective mechanism makes compression springs ideal for various applications, from automotive suspensions to industrial machinery.
