The spring is designed to operate with a tension load, so the spring stretches as the load is applied to it. The common hook types are:a. English Hook  b. German Hook  c. Lateral Round Hook  d. Universal Hook  e.The others (Pointed Hook, U type Hook, Semicircle Hook) 

It is designed to operate with a compression load, so the spring gets shorter as the load is applied to it.

Wire forms have infinite uses and a wide variety of shapes and sizes. These forms can be a load bearing link with minimal deflection.

In other cases they can be used as a holder applying a spring tension where a static load is required.

Uunlike the above types in which the load is an axial force, the load applied to a torsion spring is a torque or twisting force, and the end of the spring rotates through an angle as the load is applied.
