Springs & Wire Forming

Springs are mechanical devices and fundamental mechanical components which form the basis of many mechanical systems. A spring can be defined to be an elastic member, which exerts a resisting force when its shape is changed. It are commonly made from tensioned steel, used to exert pressure or tension, resist tension, or retract after tension is applied. Springs can be flat or coiled. Wire forming is a process of fabricating with wire or steel rod. Wire forming service providers cut, stamp, bend, and weld wire into wire forms such as, racks, shelves, frames, and many other products. Forming is a common wire forming process performed with a variety of techniques depending on the wire diameter. Wire diameter determines the bend radius and tolerance for deformation at the bend. The type of wire or rod used and its diameter also determine whether the wire can be bent manually with a hand tool or whether the use of a press and die are required.
