Types of Springs Manufactured

In the competitive world of manufacturing, springs play an essential role in most mechanical and industrial products. From automotive equipment to household appliances, every sector relies on the best springs for their products to function effectively. In our company, we are committed to manufacturing various types of high-quality springs, specifically designed to meet the needs of manufacturers across different industries. 

Below, we present a detailed description of the types of springs we offer, along with an overview of their applications in various industries.

1. Compression Springs

Compression springs are one of the most common types of springs on the market, designed to withstand compressive forces. These springs compress under an applied load, storing energy in the process, and then release that energy as they return to their original shape.

Applications: These types of springs are widely used in the automotive industry, in shock absorbers, clutches, and suspensions. They are also essential in products such as pens, electrical switches, and valve systems.

Our company offers compression springs in a wide variety of sizes and materials, from stainless steel to special alloys, ensuring corrosion resistance and long service life in demanding environments.

2. Extension Springs

Extension springs are designed to operate in the opposite manner of compression springs: they stretch under a load and return to their original state when the tension is released. These springs feature hooks or loops at each end, facilitating attachment to other components.

Applications: Commonly found in garage doors, opening and closing mechanisms, traps, and sports equipment. They are also crucial in the manufacture of medical devices and security systems. Our extension springs are designed for maximum reliability and can be customized with different end types to suit the specific needs of each application.

3. Torsion Springs

Torsion springs are known for their ability to store and release energy through twisting. These springs are designed to operate when a rotational motion is applied to their ends, accumulating energy that is then released to generate movement.

Applications: Torsion springs are fundamental in the manufacture of clips, clamps, automatic doors, rolling shutters, and locking devices. In the automotive industry, they are used in the retracting mechanisms of seat belts and steering systems. We manufacture high-precision torsion springs capable of withstanding high tensions without losing their structural integrity, making them the ideal choice for critical applications.

4. Contact Springs and Canted Coil Springs

Contact springs are critical components in the manufacturing of electrical and electronic devices. These springs are designed to maintain a constant electrical connection between two points, ensuring stable current transfer. They are typically made from highly conductive materials, such as copper or copper alloys, and may include special coatings to enhance conductivity and corrosion resistance.

Applications: Contact springs are commonly found in electrical connection devices, such as switches, relays, and connectors, where signal continuity is essential. They are also used in the manufacture of batteries, electric motors, and communication devices, where reliable connections are required under various operating conditions.

5. Constant Force Springs

Constant force springs are a unique solution in the world of springs. Unlike traditional springs, which offer variable resistance depending on compression or extension, constant force springs provide uniform resistance throughout their range of motion. These springs are made from a rolled steel band that unwinds uniformly under load, maintaining a constant force along their path.

Applications: Due to their ability to provide constant force, these springs are ideal for applications such as tape measures, balancing and counterweight systems, automatic locks, and mechanisms requiring controlled movements. They are also common in the medical sector, in rehabilitation equipment and assistive devices that require a steady force for operation.

6. Leaf Springs

Leaf springs, also known as flat springs or arch springs, are robust components used in applications that require resistance to heavy loads and controlled movement. These springs are made from curved or arched steel plates that can deform under load to store energy. The arch shape of these springs allows them to distribute the load evenly, making them an ideal choice for applications requiring high load capacity with minimal deformation.

Applications: Leaf springs are widely used in the transportation industry, especially in the suspension systems of heavy vehicles such as trucks and trains, where the ability to support large weights and absorb impacts is crucial. They are also found in agricultural machinery, construction equipment, and industrial applications where stability under dynamic loads is essential.

Other Types of Springs Manufactured by RPK Group

Wave Springs: These are flat springs used in space-constrained applications where axial load absorption is necessary, providing high compression capacity in a compact design. They are fundamental in the automotive, aerospace, and electrical equipment industries.

Dynamic Strap Components in Stamping and Bending: These are metal components formed from thin sheets through stamping and bending processes. They are used in applications requiring flexibility and precision, such as in electrical and electronic assemblies.

Bus Bars: A bus bar is an electrical conductor that distributes current to different circuits, providing an efficient solution for energy management in large-scale electrical systems, such as in substations and control panels.

Spiral Springs:These are coiled springs commonly used in watch mechanisms, locks, and devices requiring controlled torsional movement.

Wire Forms: These are components made from metal wire shaped into various geometries. They are used in multiple industries, from automotive to medical, to support, secure, or connect components within larger systems.

Rings and Seals: Small components that act as closures, connectors, or sealing barriers in a variety of mechanical and fluid applications, ensuring the integrity and proper functioning of systems.

Copper Coils: Essential components in electrical and electronic applications, used in motors, transformers, and other devices where electromagnetic induction is necessary for proper system operation.
