About MIL-SPEC Springs
These specialized products are part of the United States Defense Standard. They are used to help achieve standardization objectives set by the U.S. Department of Defense. They are known interchangeably as “Military Standards”, "MIL-SPEC", “MIL-STD", or "MilSpecs." These high precision designs meet stringent technical requirements and are used in a multitude of Military and Aerospace applications, both defense and non-defense related. MIL-SPEC springs are increasingly specified by other non-Defense government organizations, technical organizations, and highly regulated industries. The MIL-SPEC standard for compression springs for loads below 20 lbs. is AS24585; this standard was formerly MS24585. The MIL-SPEC standard for extension springs for loads below 30 lbs. is AS24586; this was formerly MS24586.
Part Numbers
Be sure to specify the complete numbers as designated by AS24585 and AS24586. MIL-SPEC Springs begin with the prefix MS24585 or MS24586 followed by a hyphen and the part number, e.g., MS24585-1002 or MS24586-C13.
