Why Professional Spring Design Services Matter
Springs may seem simple, but the truth is that the right design can dramatically improve performance, reduce costs, and extend the life of your equipment. Our spring design services are tailored to meet the diverse needs of industries ranging from aerospace and oil and gas to manufacturing and medical devices.
Our engineers collaborate closely with you to understand load requirements, environmental conditions, and durability expectations. Whether you require torsion spring design for precise rotational force or compression spring design for load-bearing stability, we bring proven expertise and cutting-edge technology to every project.
Custom Spring Design Solutions for Every Industry
No two applications are alike, which is why custom spring design is at the core of what we do. From concept to completion, Coiling Technologies delivers solutions built for your specific needs. If you’re looking for coil spring design for automotive suspension systems or need complex helical spring design for industrial machinery, our team can create the perfect spring for your project.
We also specialize in disc spring design, ideal for applications requiring high force in limited space, as well as extension spring design for applications where stored energy and resilience are essential. Our extensive material selection and advanced manufacturing capabilities ensure that every spring we produce exceeds performance expectations.
We have the capacity to cold coil and produce springs with a material diameter up to 2.5" (65 mm), 24" (600 mm) outside diameter, and lengths up to 80" (2 m). We cover all areas of industry from defense to transportation, including military contracts for the US government.
We have both single-point and dual-point coiling capacity and have full in-house heat treating. We can process most exotic/super alloy materials, which include Stainless alloys, Nickel alloys, and Titanium alloys. We have on hand more than 635 metric tons of raw materials to react quickly to our customers’ needs.
Spring Design Help from Concept to Prototype
Not sure where to start? Our spring design helps services make it easy to transform your ideas into reality. Even if you only have basic performance goals in mind, we can help you define critical specifications such as wire diameter, coil count, spring rate, and maximum deflection.
Our process typically includes:
- Engineering Consultation: Our experts listen to your goals and provide design recommendations.
- Material Selection: We advise on the best materials for strength, corrosion resistance, and durability.
- Performance Testing: We ensure your springs meet exacting industry standards.
By offering end-to-end support, we simplify even the most complex spring design services so you can focus on your core business.

Spring Design Services FAQs
What do spring design services actually produce?
A design service turns a functional requirement into a manufacturable print: wire diameter, coil count, free length, spring rate, maximum deflection, end configuration and material, all resolved against each other. Springs look simple, and that is exactly why they get under-specified. Change the wire diameter by a few thousandths and rate moves with the fourth power of diameter, enough to put a spring outside its load window. Coiling Technologies engineers work through load requirements, environmental conditions and durability expectations with you, then produce a design that meets the load without exceeding allowable stress at working or solid height.
Can you design a spring from performance requirements alone, without a drawing?
Yes. Fully developed specs are welcome, but basic performance goals are enough to begin. What the engineering team needs is the functional envelope and the duty: the load or torque required, the deflection or travel over which it has to act, the space the spring has to occupy, the operating temperature and environment, and the expected cycle count. From those inputs the design defines wire diameter, coil count, spring rate and maximum deflection. Material and end configuration follow. Bringing engineering in at this stage costs far less than correcting a finished print later.
What information should I supply to have a compression spring designed from scratch?
Six things carry most of the design. Working loads and the heights at which they occur, or the rate if you already know it. The maximum solid height or installed length available. The maximum outside diameter the bore or pocket allows, plus a minimum inside diameter if the spring rides over a shaft. Required cycle life, since a spring designed for a hundred cycles and one designed for ten million are different parts inside the same envelope. Operating temperature and corrosive exposure. End style, including whether ends must be closed and ground for squareness and stable seating.
What calculations does a spring design involve?
Rate comes first, set by wire diameter, mean coil diameter, active coil count and the material shear modulus. Torsional stress is then checked at working height and again at solid height, because a spring that is safe in service can take a permanent set if it is ever compressed solid during assembly. Slenderness ratio and deflection percentage are checked for buckling on long compression springs. Fatigue life is evaluated against the stress range rather than peak stress alone. Solid height, coil clash and squareness under load round it out. Torsion and extension springs add their own stress checks in the ends.
What size range can Coiling Technologies cold coil?
Material diameter up to 2.5 inches (65 mm), outside diameter up to 24 inches (600 mm), and lengths up to 80 inches (2 m). Both single-point and dual-point coiling capacity are available, which matters on heavy sections where the wire has to be controlled at two positions to hold diameter and pitch. That envelope covers the large and heavy-duty spring work the shop is known for, including military contracts for the US government. If your design sits near an edge of that range, send the envelope early so the design can be shaped around what is coilable.
Which spring configurations does Coiling Technologies design?
Compression springs for load-bearing stability, extension springs where stored energy and resilience drive the requirement, torsion springs for controlled rotational force, helical springs for industrial machinery, coil springs for automotive suspension systems, and disc springs where high force has to be produced in very limited axial space. The configuration is part of the design rather than an input you have to fix in advance. If you need a high rate inside a short stack, a disc spring arrangement can beat a helical compression spring on force density, and design review is where that call gets made.
How is material selected during the design phase?
Material selection is a design output driven by required strength, corrosion resistance, service temperature and fatigue duty, not something to pick first. Coiling Technologies processes most exotic and super alloy materials, including stainless alloys, nickel alloys and titanium alloys, and keeps more than 635 metric tons of raw material on hand to react quickly to customer requirements. Heat treating is fully in house, so the material condition a design assumes is the condition the spring actually receives. Availability is worth raising early, because a grade that has to be mill ordered in a small quantity can cost more in schedule than the performance gain justifies, and a second acceptable material named on the print keeps the program moving.
