Product Description

What are special-shaped springs?

Special-shaped springs and wire forms use application-specific bends, coils, and contact points where a standard spring geometry cannot meet the assembly requirement.

Drawing-based OEM / ODM Custom materials Batch production

Working Principle

How this spring type works.

The formed wire stores energy through bending, torsion, or a combination of both. Performance depends on the geometry of each working segment, load direction, support points, and material condition.

Key Features

Design characteristics.

  • Geometry developed around the actual assembly envelope
  • Multiple bends, legs, coils, and functional contact points
  • Can combine retention, return, guiding, and locking functions
  • Produced from drawings, samples, or installation requirements

Common Applications

Typical use cases.

  • Custom retaining and locking mechanisms
  • Automotive clips, guides, and actuator links
  • Medical, appliance, and electronics assemblies
  • Industrial fixtures and special motion-control components
