Different applications require different springs, and these springs usually require different surface treatments. It is not uncommon to see springs with open ends, but your application may require the springs to be flat on both ends.
This is where spring grinding comes into play.
In addition to the open spring, there are open ends and ground ends, closed ends and non-ground ends, and closed ends and square ground ends. Compression springs have these options, which can help them become more versatile and used in
many other applications.
When the end of a compression spring needs to be flattened, an automatic grinder may be used. The bushing or the component that holds the spring in place is mounted on the circular plate, leaving a small amount of spring protruding at
both ends.
