Spring Coiling ​

At European Springs & Pressings Ltd, we specialise in producing coiled springs that meet exact mechanical and dimensional requirements. Using advanced machinery and a wide range of materials, we manufacture springs for use across multiple sectors.

What is Spring Coiling?

Spring coiling is the process of shaping wire into helical forms to create springs with specific functions. The three most common types include:

 

Each type is used in different mechanical systems depending on load direction, available space, and required motion.

Our Coiling Process

We follow a controlled production process to ensure each spring performs reliably:

  1. Machine Setup – Select wire gauge and set up CNC coiling equipment.
  2. Wire Feeding – Feed wire into the machine; heat treatment is applied if required for shaping flexibility.
  3. Forming – Coil the wire around a mandrel to achieve the correct diameter, pitch, and number of turns.
  4. Cutting – Trim to length as specified.
  5. Heat Treatment – Strengthen the spring by applying controlled heating and cooling.
  6. Inspection – Conduct dimensional checks and load tests to ensure each part meets spec.

 

Factors That Influence Coiling

  • Material Selection – We work with carbon steel, stainless steel, and performance alloys depending on the environment and load type.
  • Design Specs – Coil diameter, pitch, length, and load capacity are all defined by the application.
  • Spring Rate – We calculate the force per unit deflection to match how the spring must behave under working conditions.
  • Finish Options – Surface treatments like powder coating are available to improve wear resistance and durability.

Built for Performance

Our in-house capabilities combine precision equipment with experienced engineering support: 

  • CNC Technology – Ensures consistent output and tolerances for every spring produced. 
  • Custom Options – Whether you need a one-off design or a full production run, we offer flexible manufacturing for custom and catalogue springs. 
  • Final Testing – All springs go through a final round of checks to verify performance, durability, and finish.
