Who doesn’t want to get the best return on their investment? It doesn’t matter what type of product you are looking to purchase, you should always go in asking, “how long will this last?”

When it comes to precision springs and wire forms, making the right purchasing choice makes all the difference on how long they will last.

Extending the life of springs and wire forms doesn’t entirely rely on how they are used, but also how they are designed and manufactured. Want to get the most out of your custom wire forms and springs? Follow these quick tips to create the best part for your product or application.

Choosing the Right Material

Everything begins with the right wire for your products. Just like any product, the materials used have a lot to do with its longevity. Better quality leads to a longer life, but wire materials used with springs are much more complex. It’s not all about quality, and a spring’s longevity has a lot to do with using the right material based on the environment that it will be placed within.

Heat, corrosion, electricity and magnetism all have an effect on a spring’s lifespan and overall performance. Some materials perform better in high-temperature environments while others will provide better corrosion resistance. Some metals are not great conductors of electricity while others are highly magnetic.

Choose your wire materials carefully if you want to get the best lifespan from your springs.

Getting the Specifications Correct

We ask a lot of questions when designing your spring. That’s because the smallest changes in a spring specifications can highly impact its performance. Simply accounting for the stress a spring can withstand is dependent on the number of active coils, diameter and many other factors that prevent spring fatigue. This doesn’t even take into account its flexibility, resistance to heat and corrosion and many other factors.

Working With the Right Manufacturer

Springs require precise calculations and planning, and that’s what we deliver to each of our clients. If you are looking to get the best lifespan possible out of your springs, it’s important to work with a reliable manufacturing partner (with an ISO 9001:2015 certification) who will deliver you high quality products that last.
