Wire formed springs appeared early in the industrial revolution and the basic concept has not changed much since that time. The basic compression, extension, lateral bending and torsion formats can easily be delivered via the wire wound spring. There have been many enhancements in materials and manufacturing techniques that have forged the wire wound spring into a reliable, industrial tool that exhibits elasticity. We specialise in the supply of wire wound springs in a choice of materials using wire from 0.15mm (.006”) to 14mm in diameter.
We can supply basically any material that will coil!
