Compression Springs are designed to operate with a compressive load in “Push Mode”. Compression Spring also has variable pitch between coils which are used to reduce solid height, buckling and surging to produce nonlinear load deflection characteristics.

Tension Springs/Extension Springs are helical wound coils, wrapped tightly together to create tension. Extension springs are springs which absorb and store energy by offering resistance to a pulling force.

Conical springs are compression springs which are helically coiled round wires forming a tapered or conical shape. They are used to provide balance & reduce the solid height by the coils telescoping into each other. Conical springs are basically compression springs coiled in increasing or decreasing outer diameters thus making its shape a cone or tapered one.

Wire forms come in all sorts of shapes & sizes and each play different role. Wire forms are wires that have been bent into specific shapes, often to fulfil a particular purpose, one can commonly recognize wire form as a spring; though any shape that a wire takes is technically a wire form, other often seen wire forms include hooks and certain types of clips.
