Linear Springs are continuous wave-formed (marcelled) wire lengths produced from spring tempered materials. They act as a load-bearing device having approximately the same load/deflection characteristics as a wave spring. Axial pressure is obtained by laying the linear spring flat in a straight line. Over 200 standard sizes are available from stock in both carbon and stainless steel.
