4 +3 | 6 coil compression spring |

6 coil compression spring Explanation: May look odd compared to the German. Coil is the number of times the spring wire is wound round the mandrel (dorn)- in this case six. It's a coil spring, but we're already using the word coil, so we call it a compression spring which is a general term for a coil spring. We don't say cylindrical spring- this is taken for granted. If the spring is tapered, then we say tapered coil/compression spring. |
