Compression springs are the easiest type to make. Can be made more rapidly and accurately than other types and should be used in preference to other types wherever possible. Avoid using open ends or open and ground ends. Such springs usually tangle when shipped. They also buckle when deflected. Use closed ends only and avoid grinding whenever possible, especially on light wire sizes under 0.60 mm or where a large spring index Omd prevails such as 13 or larger. Grinding is a slow and expensive operation. 4. Use conical springs when a short, solid height is needed and to reduce buckling. Avoid using conical, barrel shaped, or other special shapes, where a standard helical spring could be used.
