Midwest Fasteners Steel Compression Spring

Midwest Fasteners Steel Compression Spring

The Midwest Fasteners Steel Compression Spring is a steel coil spring engineered to resist and push back against applied force, storing energy as it compresses and releasing that energy when the load is removed. Built from steel for consistent spring action under repeated cycling, the is stocked in 47 distinct outer diameter, wire gauge, and free-length combinations, ranging from compact coils such as 1/4" x .017" x 2" up to larger coils such as 1-1/16" x .125" x 5" and 3/4" x .079" x 10-1/2", giving techs and fabricators one reliable source for the exact spring a given repair calls for. Every size in the line shares the same steel construction and compression-spring function, so the right pick comes down to matching outer diameter, wire thickness, and free length to the original part.

Key Features

• Product Type: Compression spring, designed to resist and absorb compressive (pushing) force rather than tension.
• Material: Steel construction for consistent spring action and resistance to repeated loading cycles.
• Mechanical Function: Stores energy under compression and returns to its original length when the load is released, suited to mechanisms that need a return force.
• Size Range: 47 size combinations of outer diameter, wire thickness, and free length, from 1/4" x .017" x 2" through 1-1/16" x .125" x 5", covering most common replacement needs.
• Stock Hardware Item: Supplied as a standalone replacement spring rather than part of an assembled mechanism, useful for repair and maintenance work.

Technical Specifications

• Product Type: Compression Spring
• Product Material: Steel
• Size Options: 47 outer diameter x wire x length combinations, from 1/4" x .017" x 2" to 1-1/16" x .125" x 5", selectable per unit

Typical Applications

• Equipment repair where an existing compression spring has fatigued, broken, or lost its return force.
• Maintenance replacement for mechanical assemblies, latches, levers, and other hardware that rely on a push-back spring force.
• Fabrication and shop projects that require a steel compression spring as a stock mechanical component.
• General DIY repair tasks where a sourced replacement spring is needed on hand without waiting on an OEM part.
• Stocking spare hardware for maintenance carts and repair kits where size needs vary by job.
