Will a compression spring move in the rotating direction when it is compressed or extended?

Answer Tokai Spring 2017/6/23(Fri) 9:19

Spring Newbie, thank you for your question!!!
Since the material of the compression coil spring is formed into a spiral shape, there is a rotational force during compression. The rotational force may affect the operation of the device when it is used as a part in a device, and when installing a compression spring, we need to consider a mechanism to release this rotational force. Tokai Spring provide designs considering the influence of the springs to equipment usage by actually measuring the rotational force that acts on the compression springs. If you have any problems with designing a compression spring, please feel free to contact us♪

Please tell me the mechanism by which the compression spring moves in the rotating direction when it is compressed and extended. (It would be appreciated if you can attach an illustration.) Thank you.
