What is Helical Spring?

The helical spring, a type of spring in which wire is wrapped in a coil that resembles a screw thread, is probably the most commonly used mechanical spring. It can be designed to carry, pull, or push loads. Twisted helical (torsion) springs are used in engine starters and hinges. Helical tension and compression springs have numerous uses, notably automobile suspension systems, gun-recoil mechanisms, and closing valves on engines.
