German term

6-Gang Zylinderfeder

German to English Tech/Engineering Furniture / Household Appliances Matratzen
In den Taschenfederkernmatratzen XXX und YYY kommen ausschließlich Federn zum Einsatz, die nach dem Winden ofenthermisch vergütet werden und folglich resistent sind gegen Ermüdung und Überbelastung. Je nach Gewicht, Gewichtsverteilung und Gewohnheit des Schlafenden wirken innerhalb einer Matratze Federn unterschiedlicher Kraft. Und weil jede einzelne **6-Gang Zylinderfeder** von Hand in eine eigene Nesseltasche eingenäht wird, kann sie nahezu unabhängig von der nächsten reagieren und sich hautnah den Konturen und Bewegungen des Körpers anpassen. Das ist Individualismus pur für höchste Schlafkultur.

6 coil compression spring

May look odd compared to the German.
Coil is the number of times the spring wire is wound round the mandrel (dorn)- in this case six.
It's a coil spring, but we're already using the word coil, so we call it a compression spring which is a general term for a coil spring.
We don't say cylindrical spring- this is taken for granted.
If the spring is tapered, then we say tapered coil/compression spring.
Peer comment(s):

agree Dmytro Voskolovych : generally yes, but still Google gives out a lot of links for cylinder spring (more than 300.000)?

Beware German translated sites? Perhaps. Thanks.
agree Kim Metzger : Would a perfectionist insist on a hyphen? Six-coil ....

Good thinking, Kim. Prevents someone deciding the s was missing on the end of the spring.
