Spring Type
Flat Strip Springs and Shapes
AN INFINITE RANGE OF Bespoke design & manufacture FOR FLAT SHAPE springs
Our range of flat strip products covers an infinite range of shapes and sizes. The easiest way to find out if we can help with your idea or design is to send an online enquiry or to give us a call.
Common Items we manufacture
Bow Springs
Arched springs that provide controlled deflection, commonly used in sealing applications.
Clock Springs
Coiled flat springs that store and release rotational energy, ideal for mechanical devices and retractable mechanisms.
Constant Force Springs
Designed to exert a nearly constant force throughout their extension, often used in counterbalances and tensioning systems.
Cantilever Springs
Flat springs anchored at one end, widely used in electrical contacts, switches, and latching mechanisms.

Flat material performance considerations
Thickness and Width
We are able to deal with material sizes up to about 2mm thick and 100mm wide, however this depends on the type of material and the design of the part.
Type of material
We stock and are able to use standard spring steels, stainless steels, beryllium copper, Inconel and more. For details on material types see our technical information section here.
Holes
If there are any holes in the item we would need to know diameter (try to keep to standard imperial or metric sizes) and also the position. Try not to position holes where a weakness may result in the strip.
Size
The size of any radii of bends in the strip or corners. Note that very sharp bends should be avoided as they can create high stress points and lead to early fractures.
Corrosion Protection
Depending on the material used, you may require some form of corrosion protection. See the technical information section for more details.
And remember...
If you are not sure exactly what you require, we offer our full design and development service on all our products so give us a call. Find out how here.
