Garter Springs are helical extension or compression springs whose ends are connected so that each spring becomes a circle and exerts radial forces. Their primary application is in oil seals. Other uses include small motor belts, electrical connectors and piston-ring expanders.

Conical Spring is a kind of compression spring with variable diameter which exerts more load or stress when compressed.

Extension springs are closed wound springs that extends as a result of the pulling force.

Torque by definition is a force that produces rotation. Torsion springs exert a force (torque) in a circular arc, and the arms rotate about the central axis. The stress is in bending not in torsion. It is customary tospecify torque with deflection or with the arms at a definite position. Formulas...

Compression springs are open coil, helical springs that offers resistance to compressive force applied axially. They are usually coiled at a constant diameter, though they can be coiled in other needed forms such as conical, concave, convex or various combination of these compression springs are...
