Custom Springs - Myers Spring
Custom Springs - Myers SpringCoil springs are the most common type of spring, but some other popular types include leaf springs, hair springs and cantilever springs. Springs can be created in varying sizes depending on the amount of force needed in the application for which they are being fitted. Some manufacturers offer a custom spring manufacturing service for clients who need springs to match their product specifications.
When you contact one of these fabricators, they will work with you to determine what material is best suited to meet the needs of your application. You may require materials that are coated with an anti-corrosive coating if they are going to be exposed to the elements or harsh chemicals.
Engineers from your own business or from the custom manufacturing plant can develop specifications for the custom springs, and then a production process can be set up to begin manufacturing the springs. The manufacturer that you choose to work with will optimize this process to make it as cost efficient as possible and to minimize wasted materials.
Custom springs can be a perfect solution when you are designing a product that is not similar to anything that is already on the market. Rather than having to design the product's functions around the size and strength of an existing spring, engineers can design the product however they like and then have springs made to meet their exact specifications.
Some custom spring manufacturers will even offer to create a working prototype of your custom spring in-house so that you can test it yourself to make sure it functions as you had anticipated.
