A Conical Spring is a tapered, cone-shaped compression type Spring made by winding wire in a spiral with a diameter that progressively decreases from one end to the other. This is helical coil compression Spring with outer diameters that decrease in a constant gradient from one end to the other. The diameter of this Spring is progressively increases as you approach the bottom and this is an open coiled helical type Spring that offers resistance to a compressive force applied axially.
Royal Spring Industries is the leading Conical Spring manufacturer up to the following capacity :
