Types of Spring Assemblies
Compression Spring Assemblies: Designed to compress underload, store mechanical energy, and provide a return force when the load is removed. Used in machinery, industrial equipment, and consumer products like pens, and medical devices.
Extension Spring Assemblies: Designed to extend under load, store energy, and provide a pulling force when the load is removed. Commonly found in garage door mechanisms, trampolines, and various automotive and industrial applications.
Torsion Spring Assemblies: Designed to twist under load, store energy in a rotational manner, and provide torque or rotational force. Used in clothespins, mousetraps, window shades, and hinges.
Applications of Spring Assemblies
Industrial Machinery: Springs absorb shocks and vibrations, protecting machinery components and enhancing durability. Used to maintain consistent force in presses, stamping machines, and assembly lines.
Consumer Products: Springs are used in everyday items like retractable pens, watches, and door handles to provide motion and force. They are also found in appliances like washing machines, where they help in balancing and damping vibrations.
Medical Devices: Springs are used in medical instruments for precise control and movement. They also provide necessary flexibility and support in prosthetic limbs.
Construction and Infrastructure: Used in bridges and buildings to absorb seismic shocks and reduce structural damage during earthquakes. They also provide necessary counterbalance and smooth operation in elevator mechanisms.

other springs we manufacture:
Compression Springs
A compression spring is a type of mechanical spring designed to resist compressive forces. When subjected to a load, it compresses and stores mechanical energy. Upon the release of the load, the spring returns to its original shape, releasing the stored energy.
- conical
- -
- concave
- -
- convex
Extension Springs
An extension spring is a type of helical (coiled) spring designed to store energy and resist a pulling force. When extended, it exerts a return force to pull the components back together. These springs are used in various applications requiring tension, resistance, and the ability to return to a pre-determined position after being stretched.
Flat Springs
A flat spring is a type of spring made from a flat, thin piece of metal or composite material. Unlike traditional coiled springs, flat springs are designed in a variety of shapes and sizes to store and release energy through bending or flexing. They are used in applications requiring precise force, flexibility, and a compact design.

Torsion
A torsion spring is a type of helical spring that works by twisting its ends along its axis to exert a rotational or torque force. These springs are used in applications where rotational energy is required to maintain or return a component to its desired position.
