Coil Diameter
Specified by OD. Typically ID is specified as reference or min. Diameter can be variable (tapered).

Wire Options

  • Round wire
  • Flat wire
  • Shaped wire
  • Single filar or multi-filar coils

Pitch Options

  • Tight wound: coil stiffness may be defined; pitch not specified
  • Close wound: minimal/no space between filars
  • Open wound: gap between the filars; pitch is length of 1 filar wrap, measured using the average over 10 wraps
  • Variable pitch: can be varied along the coil to provide varying stiffness
