When you need custom compression springs you may expect a long lead-time but at Ashfield we are committed to keeping this to an absolute minimum.

  • We don't rely on outsourcing components with all the associated delays

  • We genuinely manufacture springs from a wire size of 0.1 mm - 8.00 mm

  • Our modern, purpose built factory was specially designed to allow the optimum number of orders to flow through the factory

That's why we don't need to quote lead-times of four to six weeks, for custom made springs we offer a lead-time of only 10-15 working days and If you have a pressing need, we can often get small orders and prototypes to you in a mere two to three working days.

Technical Description

Helical compression springs are an open coiled spring manufactured from circular, rectangular or square material. It offers resistance to a force applied axially whose free length reduces in the direction of the applied force. They are used in many applications such as hydraulic valves, pneumatic valves and electrical switchgear.

Ashfield Springs Ltd can manufacture compression springs from a variety of carbon steels, alloy steels and stainless steels in various grades dependent on customer specification, environmental considerations, fatigue requirements and commercial cost. These can be supplied shot-peened, bead-peened or vibratory de-burred in a variety of protective or decorative finishes, including zinc plating, delta tone and delta seal.   

  • Carbon Steel - Hard drawn and Oil Tempered

  • Alloy Steel - Chrome Vanadium and Silicon Chrome

  • Stainless Steel - Austenitic

  • Copper Alloy - Phosphor Bronze & Beryllium Copper

  • Nickel Based Alloys - Inconel 600 and Inconel X750
