Key Characteristics and Common Types
Material: Typically made from various metals such as music wire, stainless steel, high nickel alloys and brass, depending on the application requirements. These materials are chosen for their strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion.
Custom Shapes: Wire forms can be bent, cut, and shaped into virtually any design, allowing for high customization. This makes them suitable for specialized applications that require unique configurations.
Surface Finishes: They can be finished with coatings such as plating, painting, powder coating or polishing to enhance their appearance and resistance to wear and corrosion.
Simple Bends: Basic wire forms with one or more bends, often used as clips, hooks, or brackets.
Complex Shapes: Intricate designs with multiple bends and loops, tailored for specific applications such as retaining rings, handles, or springs.
Flat Wire Forms: Wire that is flattened and bent, commonly used in clips and clamps.
Advantages
Versatility: The ability to create custom shapes makes wire forms incredibly versatile, suitable for countless applications across different industries.
Durability: Made from strong, resilient materials, wire forms can withstand significant stress and environmental conditions, ensuring long-term performance.
Cost-Effective: Manufacturing wire forms can be relatively inexpensive, especially for large quantities, making them a cost-effective solution for many needs.
Customization: The high degree of customization allows for precise design tailored to the exact specifications required by the application.

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.

spring assemblies
Spring Assemblies are mechanical systems that incorporate springs to perform specific functions such as absorbing shock, maintaining tension, storing energy, or providing flexibility. These assemblies are crucial in many applications due to their ability to efficiently manage mechanical forces.
