Springs
Conical / Taper Spring
Cone-shaped compression springs that telescopically compress into their own height.
Engineered cone-shaped compression springs where the coil diameter gradually decreases from base to top. Allows the coils to telescope inside each other when compressed, achieving a solid height equal to a single wire diameter.

Specifications
Technical profile
- Geometry
- Conical tapered profile (constant or variable pitch coiling)
- Solid height
- Telescopic nesting allows ultra-low solid height (approx. 1× to 2× wire dia)
- Spring rate
- Non-linear progressive spring rate (stiffens as larger coils bottom out)
- Material grades
- SS304 / SS316 / Music Wire / Phosphor Bronze / 17-7 PH Stainless
- Stability
- Natural lateral stability prevents buckling even at high slenderness ratios
- Wire diameter
- 0.4 mm to 8.0 mm wire stock

Key benefits
Why this product
- Telescopic coil nesting saves up to 70% axial space in low-profile battery contacts and push-button valves
- Progressive spring rate provides soft initial cushioning followed by high resistance against overload bottoming
- Broad base diameter provides inherent self-centering stability without requiring internal guide rods
- Natural resonance damping prevents spring surging in high-speed reciprocating valve mechanisms
