What are heavy-duty compression springs?

We are the experts in heavy-duty compression springs. We design, engineer and manufacture millions every year for every specification.
Compression springs, of every size, are widely used across multiple industries for a variety of applications.
We manufacture hot and cold coil springs up to 65mm wire diameter and our technology and unique infrastructure allows us to cold coil smaller compression springs starting at 3mm diameter.

We are dedicated to delivering high-quality springs for our customers, working closely with them to ensure our compression spring components achieve peak performance and success.

What are heavy-duty compression springs?

Heavy-duty compression springs are the strongest of the coil spring range. 

Designed and manufactured to manage the extreme demands of their application, our engineers evaluate the stress, temperature and corrosive risks that a product may endure during the bespoke design process and as such guarantee highly engineered heavy-duty compression springs delivering quality, endurance and accuracy.

How do compression springs work?

Compression springs have a unique design which means that their compressed helix shape allows them to resist compressive forces.

Applying a heavy load to the compression spring forces it to compress and condense, the wire spaces then reduce in size until the spring’s wire touches, reaching the spring's maximum compressed length.

The coils provide an opposing force when compressed - storing the force until it is released. 

Types of compression springs

There are many types of compression springs and our hot and cold coil spring manufacturing specialists are experts in the field of:

Compression spring manufacturing processes

Our sites feature the very latest advanced technologies in hot and cold coiling.

Our investment in the most advanced spring manufacturing processes ensures our competitiveness across the compression springs industry.

Advanced CNC coiling and grinding machines deliver quality, accuracy, the best production run rates and efficiencies across an extensive wire range.

In-line shot peening facilities improve components shelf life and fatigue performances.

Large scale, fully automated powder coat lines offer a zinc phosphate coating option in advance of powder coating, delivering 1000 hours of corrosive salt spray resistance.

We can also print individual part numbers on products.

Our team of experts will consult at every key stage of the manufacturing process, collaborating with customers to ensure goals are met, targets are achieved and the product is dispatched within industry leading turnaround times at competitive prices.

Compression spring materials

There are four key components when considering a compression spring material - chemical composition, surface properties, tensile strength and size.

Compression spring material specifications cover a wide range from:

● Carbon Spring Steel

● Chrome Silicon

● Chrome Vanadium

● Stainless Steel

● Nickel Alloys

● Titanium Alloys

● Copper Alloys

Our conditioning processes; which include heat treatment, shot peening and pre-setting are adapted according to specific compression spring material requirements.

We offer a range of different surface treatments for corrosion resistance or aesthetics.

We also hold one of the largest global stocks of chrome silicon and chrome vanadium wire anywhere in the world so that we can meet the needs of our customers and deliver as a preferred spring supplier.
