What Customer say about Alcomex:
“The communication with Alcomex was crucial, because they quickly understood what we needed. In addition, they deliver the right products, exactly to size and at the right time.”
The compression spring is probably the best-known spring model and in many cases it is based on a standard DIN-program. Standard DIN compression springs are available from stock and can easily be ordered online, from our Webshop.
Special versions and special dimensions are available after individual consultation.
Compression springs are typically made from spring steel (1.1200, 10270-1) or INOX 302 (1.4310, 10270-3), with other materials available upon consultation.

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.

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.
