custom springs

Custom springs are the driving force behind the precise operation of more applications, products and machines than most people know. As precision spring manufacturers, we are always ready to help our customers understand which spring will fit best based on their needs. Whether you need compression, torsion or extension springs depends on the type of application or product you have.

Here are some of the most practical uses for the most common types of springs on the market:

Uses for Compression Springs

Compression springs are available in cylindrical, conical and a variety of other shapes. Because of the their versatility, they are some of the most commonly used springs in many industries. They can be used in everything from manufacturing equipment to medical devices, tools and variety of common products including pens, mattresses and much more.

Uses for Torsion Springs

The rotary force applied by torsion springs make them a more obscure but widely used spring in many applications. Because of their unique properties, experts like to use them in tools like ratchets as well as products like window shades and clothespins. Because of their distinct load capability, they can also be used in many different machine components.

Uses for Extension Springs

Extension springs (also sometimes called tension springs) are not surprisingly used in tension devices. These types of products and applications can include washing machines, scales garage doors and many other types of children’s toys. Essentially, they are used in most applications in which compression springs cannot be used because of the type of force exerted on them.
