Spring for the Airbus tanker
Together with Sevilla Control, the development of a spring for the Airbus tanker aircraft (in-flight refueling). Strict tolerances and validation in line with aerospace certification standards.
We manufacture custom springs from your drawing, a sample or simply a description of what your application needs.
We start from your need —not from a fixed catalog. We combine in-house manufacturing with a network of specialized suppliers to propose the best solution. You don't need to arrive with the technical data worked out: we guide you through the sizing.
Over the years we have designed or helped design springs for highly demanding programs in aerospace, defense and automotive. Working side by side with our customers' engineering teams has taken us into environments where the spring cannot fail: aerospace certification, severe fatigue and full traceability.

Supply of springs and spring components to SpaceX and Occam Space for space-sector applications, where component reliability and traceability are critical.
Collaboration with CESA, a specialist in aeronautical actuation systems, in the design and manufacture of a spring for the Eurofighter. An environment with demanding fatigue, reliability and traceability requirements.
For Ford and BorgWarner, the design of a spring integrated into the exhaust system: resistance to high temperature and fatigue cycles under severe conditions, ready for series production.

Can't find a standard spring that fits your application? Most industrial projects need, sooner or later, a custom spring: a part dimensioned exactly for a specific load, space and environment.
You don't need to have everything worked out to start. Whether you arrive with a dimensioned drawing, a physical sample of the spring you want to replicate, or just a description of the problem, our technical team studies the case and proposes the most suitable solution.
A drawing, a sample or a simple description of what the spring has to do and where it is mounted. Whatever you have is enough to get started.
Our engineering team translates your need into technical parameters: load, deflection, available space, material and operating environment.
We indicate the recommended configuration and, where appropriate, a prototype or sample before the production run.
With in-house manufacturing or, when needed, through our network of specialized suppliers.
Don't worry if you're not on top of the technical side. That's what the advice is for: you bring the problem, we bring the engineering. Tell us in your own words and we'll take care of turning it into a manufacturable specification.
The more information we have, the faster and more accurate the advice will be, but none of this is essential to get started. If you have it to hand, it helps us:
What the spring has to do: push, pull, exert a torque, hold a force…
What force you need and over what working distance or angle.
Dimensions of the housing where the spring is mounted.
Temperature, humidity, corrosion, food contact, etc.
If you have any material or treatment preference.
Prototype, short run or long run.
If you have a dimensioned drawing or a physical sample of the spring.
Only have a rough idea? That works too. Part of the value of talking to us is precisely turning that idea into a viable specification.
We size the spring to the real operating environment. If your application has special corrosion, temperature or hygiene requirements, we study it and propose the right material and finish.
Specialists in springs and spring components.
Engineering that guides you from problem to solution, at no cost.
If it fits our machines we make it here; if not, we manage it with partners and deliver it to you all the same.
Prototypes, short runs and production.
If something isn't viable or there's a better option, we'll tell you.
No. You can start with a dimensioned drawing, a physical sample of the spring you want to replicate, or simply a description of what the spring needs to do and where it is mounted. Our technical team takes care of translating that information into engineering parameters (load, deflection, material, geometry). The more information you provide, the faster the process, but nothing is essential to get the advice started.
We work to custom specifications across all the families in our catalog: compression, conical, extension, torsion, constant force, wave and curved disc springs, flat springs, wire forms and gas springs. What we produce in-house we make at our own facilities; when a specific part falls outside our internal manufacturing, we manage it through our network of specialized suppliers and deliver it to you all the same. If something isn't viable, we tell you clearly and point you toward the best alternative.
What helps most is knowing the function (push, pull, exert a torque, hold a force), the required load and travel, the dimensions of the space where it is mounted and the operating environment (temperature, humidity, corrosion, food contact). Also the preferred material or finish and the estimated quantity. If you only have a rough idea, that's fine: part of our job is turning that idea into a manufacturable specification.
Yes. We work from a single unit and prototype through to short runs and production. During the consultation we indicate the most suitable option for your volume, and if it's worth validating a sample before launching a run, we suggest it to avoid surprises.
No. Advice from our engineering team is free and with no obligation. Our goal is to help you find the right spring for your application; you bring the problem and we bring the engineering to solve it.
No drawing or technical data needed to start. Describe your application and our team will advise you with no obligation to find the spring you need. Specialists since 1974.
