The spring has sprung....
Macro Mondays - Small and Smaller
The one on the left is a conical spring (3.5cm).....they are basically compression springs coiled in increasing or decreasing outer diameters thus making its shape a cone or tapered one. These springs tend to reduce solid height and provide stability. Conical springs are also known as tapered springs or cone springs.
The smaller one on the right is a helical spring (1.2cm) - these are the most common types of springs in product manufacturing. Wire coiled into a helix shape (hence the name) with different cross-sections can make helical springs.
