    custom Bow Springs by katy spring

    Serving the oil & gas industry by offering custom bow springs

    Key Characteristics

    • Shape and Design: Bow springs are typically made from a strip of metal that is curved or formed into an arch or bow shape. This design allows them to flex and provide force when compressed or expanded.

    • Material: Bow springs are usually made from high-quality materials such as stainless steel, spring steel, or other durable alloys. These materials ensure the spring maintains its shape and performance under repeated use and environmental exposure.

    • Functionality: The bow shape of the spring provides radial force, meaning the spring pushes outward or inward along its curved axis. This makes them ideal for applications requiring consistent pressure or support.

    Advantages of Using Bow Springs

    • Consistent Radial Force: Bow springs provide a reliable and uniform radial force, making them suitable for centering or stabilizing components.

    • Flexibility and Support: The curved design allows bow springs to offer both flexibility and support, ensuring components remain properly positioned and stable.

    • Durability: Constructed from robust materials, bow springs are resistant to wear, fatigue, and environmental factors, ensuring long-lasting performance.

    • Space Efficiency: Their design allows them to fit into tight or confined spaces while still providing the necessary force and support.

    Ordering Custom Flat Springs

    • Katy Spring professionals can provide the proper dimensions and edge for your product.
    • We design and manufacture a wide variety of cantilever and flat form products such as bow and leaf springs.
    • We offer spring design and engineering services and have the highest caliber of customer care.
    • Specify a force with a tolerance (+/- 10 percent) at an exact compressed height rather than a definite deflection. Spring rate is the difference of two forces divided by the amount of deflection between those forces.
    • Make Katy Spring aware of unusual conditions such as temperature, corrosive environments, impact force, and fatigue life.
    • Specify the mandatory requirements only to Katy Spring, and leave the exact wire size and number of coils to the discretion of Katy Spring whenever possible.

    Bellow Spring

    A bellow spring is a type of mechanical device designed to absorb, store, and release energy through the use of flexible, accordion-like structures known as bellows. These springs combine the properties of a bellow and a spring to provide a versatile solution for various applications requiring movement, flexibility, and pressure control.

    popular product
    Barrel Springs

    A barrel spring is a specific type of compression spring that features a bulging middle and tapered ends. Its unique shape can be visualized as a barrel, hence the name.

    popular product
    Tubing Forms

    A tubing form is a type of helical spring made from coiled tubing, rather than solid wire. This design provides a combination of flexibility, strength, and the ability to handle internal media flow. Tubing forms are used in applications where traditional solid wire springs would not be sufficient due to the need for internal passageways or additional flexibility.
