Description
POM Compression Springs, available in sizes ranging from Inner Diameter (ID) of 1mm to 20.5mm, Outer Diameter (OD) of 2mm to 25mm, and Free Lengths of 8mm to 50mm, are crafted from Polyoxymethylene (POM), a highly crystalline engineering thermoplastic known for its high stiffness, low friction, and excellent dimensional stability. POM is also known for its good fatigue resistance, low moisture absorption, and high mechanical strength, making these compression springs ideal for precision applications requiring consistent performance and durability.
Sizes (see full table below) :
Inner Diameter (mm) – 1 to 20.5mm
Outer Diameter (mm) – 2 to 25mm
Free Length (mm) – 8 to 50mm
