Rapid Custom Flat Springs
Quick Spring specializes in rapid prototyping to assist in designing and manufacturing various types of springs, including custom flat springs. Quick Spring offers a wide range of flat spring material and finish options plus technical advice to help select the right selections for your application. There are a number of manufacturing options available depending on the part design, including four-slide, stamping, and hand forming. Minimum order volume is not an issue, we can supply from one piece to high volumes as required.
Flat Springs offer a very versatile spring type as it can be formed in nearly endless configurations and can be designed to be integrated into a component or molded into an assembly. Made from a flat steel the flat spring can interact as part of an assembly, a detent, or as a spring clip. There is a wide range of springs that are considered flat springs, including springs formed from a flat strip, disc washers, and wave washers. The right spring for your application may depend on a number of factors and a Quick Spring Engineer can assist with technical and design advice. Quick Spring offers both the flat spring options and manufacturing process ideally suited to turn your parts around fast.
Wire Form Design Considerations
Flat spring are commonly made from low carbon cold rolled steel, high carbons spring steel, stainless steel or other materials depending on the application, like brass, phosphor bronze and beryllium cooper. In addition to using the right material, the spring finish and coating are an important element to consider in the flat spring design. There are many finish and heat treating options available and a Quick Spring Engineer can assist with making the right choices. When designing a flat spring, you should consider the working area that the flat spring will operate in. A disc spring is excellent in areas where high loads are needed in a limited space. A wave spring is well suited for areas where there may be limited height for the spring to operate. A flat spring formed from a flat strip may be good where a custom shaped spring needs to be molded into a component or to fit into a unique area. The shape and use options are almost limitless, and a Quick Spring Engineer can help with the design and selection of the optimal material and finish for your application.
