Custom Cone Compression Springs: Applications, Design, and Technical ChallengesCustom cone compression springs, as an essential mechanical component, are widely used across various industries, from automotive and consumer electronics to aerospace. Due to their unique geometry and customization, cone compression springs offer excellent load-bearing capacity and compression performance, especially in confined spaces. This article explores the design principles, application fields, manufacturing processes, material selection, and the technical challenges faced by custom cone compression springs.
Design and Application of Cone Compression SpringsUnlike traditional cylindrical springs, the main feature of a cone compression spring is its gradually changing diameter. This characteristic allows it to balance load capacity and space efficiency, making it particularly suitable for applications with limited space. For example, in modern automotive suspension systems, cone compression springs are often used to replace traditional springs, providing higher load-bearing capacity and smoother shock absorption. A certain automotive parts company customized cone springs for a well-known brand's vehicles, and after testing, it was found that the cone design improved space utilization by 15% to 20% and made the shock absorption more stable and comfortable.
In the field of consumer electronics, particularly in smartphones, custom cone springs are used in keypads and sensor swit
