 Tension springs – or extension springs – are tightly wound coils designed to operate with the force known as 'tension'. They usually have a loop or hook at either end for attachment purposes. ... Tension springs are typically wound very tightly and are coiled closely together when at rest. 

 A compression spring is an open-coil helical spring that offers resistance to a 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 (barrel), convex (hourglass), or various combinations of these 

 A torsion spring is a spring that works by twisting its end along its axis; that is, a flexible elastic object that stores mechanical energy when it is twisted. When it is twisted, it exerts a torque in the opposite direction, proportional to the amount (angle) it is twisted. 

 Wire forms, or wire manipulated into certain shapes, come in many different configurations and sizes to fit the need of the consumer. They can be made in simple beams or a cantilever design.  

Drawbar springs are excellent for use in potential overload situations and offer a built-in safety feature that, upon fracturing, will continue to carry a static load. In a drawbar spring, the load is applied at the ends of long steel loops which pass through the spring’s center and are hooked around the opposite end, thus compressing the spring upon loading. A common application of the drawbar spring is used when supporting a porch swing.

 A garter spring is a coiled steel spring that is connected at each end to create a circular shape, and is used in oil seals, shaft seals, belt-driven motors, and electrical connectors. Compression garter springs exert outward radial forces, while extension garter springs exert inward radial forces.
