Custom Barrel Springs for Space-Efficient and Anti-Buckling Applications

What Is a Barrel Spring?

A barrel spring, also known as a convex compression spring, features a larger middle diameter and smaller ends, forming a barrel-like shape. Its tapered design prevents buckling, ensures better load stability, and is ideal for limited-space applications.
