The invention discloses a double-action compression spring damper, and relates to the technical field of compression spring dampers. The double-action compression spring damper is used for solving theproblem of large-stiffness double-acting elastic elements. Only one spring is used as an elastic element to achieve a double-acting damping function. Multi-layer sleeves and a guide mechanism are designed, the spring is in a compressed state regardless of whether the damper is in the condition of tension or compression, and the reliability and safety of the spring are ensured. The double-action compression spring damper is of a pure mechanical structure, and does not need to use gas, liquid or the like as a working medium, thereby avoiding the problems such as sealing and pollution. The stiffness of the spring and the length of a spring assembly are reasonably designed so that dampers of different stiffness and stroke can be configured. The double-action compression spring damper is applicable to a variety of dampers in the mechanical industry.
