Specialists in the Manufacturing of Custom Springs & Wire Forms

Wire forms are versatile components designed in various shapes to perform a wide range of functions. Unlike springs, there are no universal design equations for wire forms. They can be made from high-strength spring materials or annealed materials, depending on the application.

Compression springs are designed to compress under a load, with the spring attempting to return to its original shape, thus pushing the load back. This action provides a resistance force that is essential to the designed applications.

Extension springs are wire springs that react to forces pulling their ends apart. They physically extend in shape while offering resistance, striving to return to their closed form.

Torsion springs exert torque in a circular or rotating motion, with the spring arms rotating around the central axis of the spring. They can store and release angular energy or hold a mechanism in place by deflecting the legs around the body’s centerline axis.

Assemblies typically involve a combination of springs, wire forms, stampings, shafts, pistons, tubing, seals, bearings, machined components, and molded plastic parts, working together in a cohesive system to support a variety of applications.

Garter springs are helical extension or compression springs whose ends are connected to form a circle. These springs exert radial forces, making them suitable for specific applications.

Drawbar springs are spring assemblies capable of withstanding loads far exceeding the closing force of compression springs. They are ideal for applications requiring a positive stop or overload protection.
