Custom Springs Configurations

The most common spring, the straight metal coil spring, has the same diameter for the entire length. Other configuration options for compression coil springs include hourglass (concave), conical and barrel (convex) types. The straight Custom springs configuration is the standard coil type for Stock Compression Springs.

Ends: Ground ends provide flat planes and stability. Squareness influences how the axis force produced by the spring can be transferred to adjacent parts. Although open ends may be suitable in some applications, closed ends afford a greater degree of squareness. Squared and ground end compression stock springs are particularly useful in applications in which 1) high-duty springs are specified, 2) unusually close tolerances on load or rate are needed, 3) solid height must be minimized, 4) accurate seating and uniform bearing pressures are required and 5) a tendency towards buckling must be reduced.

Applications: Custom Springs are found in a wide variety of applications ranging from automotive engines and large stamping presses to major appliances and lawn mowers to medical devices, cell phones, electronics and sensitive instrumentation devices. Cone shape metal springs are generally used in applications requiring low solid height and increased resistance to surging.

Custom Springs Parameters

Dimensions:

Outer Diameter, Inner Diameter, Wire Diameter, Free Length, and Solid Height.

Free Length is the overall length of a spring in the unloaded position.

Solid Height is the length of a Custom spring under sufficient load to bring all coils into contact with adjacent coils.

Material:

Music Wire – a high carbon steel for high stress applications
Hard Drawn MB – a carbon steel for low stresses and low costs
Oil Tempered – a carbon steel for wire forms, torsion springs, and larger wires
Stainless Steel – types 201, 304, 302 and 316 for high temperatures and corrosion resistance
Chrome Vanadium – an alloy wire for larger wire sizes in high stresses
Phosphor Bronze – for electrical applications
Brass – for applications requiring water resistance
Others- available on an as needed basis

Spring Rate (stiffness): Spring Rate is the change in load per unit deflection in pounds per inch (lb. /in.) or Newtons per millimeter (N/mm).

Unit of Measures Stress: The dimensions, along with the load and deflection requirements, determine the stresses in the spring. When a custom springs is loaded, the coiled wire is stressed in torsion. The stress is greatest at the surface of the wire; as the Custom spring is deflected, the load varies, causing a range of operating stress. Stress and stress range govern the life of the spring. The higher the stress range, the lower the maximum stress must be to obtain comparable life. Relatively high stresses may be used when the stress range is low or if the Custom spring is subjected to static loads only. The stress at solid height must be high enough to permit presetting, yet low enough to avoid permanent damage since Custom springs are often compressed solid during installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our custom springs manufacturing and design services.

1. What are custom springs, and when do I need them?

+

Custom springs are mechanical components manufactured to your precise specifications—dimensions, load, material, and configuration—rather than being selected from standard stock. You need them when your application has unique space constraints, specific force requirements, or environmental conditions that off-the-shelf springs cannot meet. We specialize in prototyping and manufacturing springs tailored for your exact application.

2. What types of custom springs can you manufacture?

+

We have over 30 years of experience producing a wide variety of custom springs, including:

  • Compression Springs: The most common type, including straight, conical, barrel, and hourglass shapes.
  • Extension Springs: Designed to resist pulling forces.
  • Torsion Springs: Exert rotational force or torque.
  • Die Springs: For high-stress applications like stamping and molding.

We can also produce wire forms and other custom elastic components.

3. What materials are available for custom springs?

+

We work with a broad range of materials to meet different performance needs:

  • Music Wire: High-carbon steel for high-stress applications.
  • Stainless Steel (302, 304, 316): For corrosion resistance and high-temperature use.
  • Oil-Tempered Spring Wire: Carbon steel, ideal for larger wire sizes.
  • Chrome Vanadium & Chrome Silicon: Alloy steels for high stress and fatigue life.
  • Phosphor Bronze & Brass: For electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and non-magnetic properties.

Other materials are available upon request.

4. What are the key parameters for specifying a custom spring?

+

To design your spring, we need the following key parameters:

  • Dimensions: Wire Diameter, Outer/Inner Diameter, Free Length, and Solid Height.
  • Load & Deflection: The required force at a specific loaded length or the desired spring rate (stiffness).
  • End Configurations: Open, closed, ground, or special hooks for extension springs.
  • Operating Environment: Temperature, exposure to chemicals, or required cycles (life).

Our engineers can help you determine these specifications.

5. What industries do you serve with your custom springs?

+

Our springs are used in a diverse range of demanding industries, including:

  • Automotive: Engine components, transmissions, brakes, and suspensions.
  • Medical Devices: Surgical instruments, drug delivery systems, and implants.
  • Consumer Electronics & Appliances: Cell phones, connectors, switches, and lawn mowers.
  • Industrial Machinery: Large stamping presses, valves, and actuators.

As a China-based manufacturer with extensive experience, we are a reliable partner for global supply chains.

6. Can you help with spring design and prototyping?

+

Absolutely. We specialize in rapid prototyping and short-run production. Our engineering team can:

  • Review your application requirements and provide design for manufacturability (DFM) feedback.
  • Recommend the optimal material, configuration, and tolerances.
  • Produce functional prototypes quickly for testing and validation before mass production.

This collaborative approach ensures your custom spring performs as intended.

7. How do you ensure the quality and performance of your springs?

+

Quality is integral to our 30-year reputation. We ensure performance through:

  • Material Certification: Using wire from reputable suppliers.
  • Precision Manufacturing: Advanced coiling and grinding equipment.
  • Process Control: Monitoring key parameters like wire diameter, coil count, and free length.
  • Performance Testing: Load testing, spring rate verification, and fatigue life analysis as required.

Our focus is on delivering springs that meet your precise specifications for stress, life, and reliability.

8. What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom springs?

+

We cater to projects of all scales. Our services are flexible to support:

  • Prototype & Development Quantities: As low as a few pieces.
  • Short-Run Production: Hundreds to thousands of pieces.
  • High-Volume Manufacturing: Millions of pieces annually with consistent quality.

Tell us your project stage and volume needs, and we will propose a suitable plan.

9. What are typical lead times for prototyping and production?

+

Lead times depend on spring complexity and order volume, but we are committed to speed:

  • Prototypes: As fast as 1-2 weeks for standard designs.
  • Production: Typically 4-8 weeks after final design approval, depending on tooling and quantity.

As an experienced manufacturer in Zhejiang, China, we have streamlined processes for efficient turnaround. Contact us for a specific timeline.

10. How do I request a quote for custom springs?

+

Requesting a quote is easy. Please provide:

  1. Drawings/Specifications: 2D drawings with dimensions or a detailed specification sheet.
  2. Material & Finish: Desired material type and any surface treatment (e.g., plating, passivation).
  3. Quantities: Prototype and expected annual production volumes.
  4. Application Details: How the spring will be used (this helps us provide design advice).
