ENGINEERING SUPPORT

Need help creating a new design or solving a problem with your existing torsion spring? Looking for help engineering a double torsion spring? Our engineers use a spring design software to review your torsion spring for functionality and manufacturability and to look for improvements and cost savings. We check if the torsion spring has too much stress in its deflection range and if the spring’s design meets your required tolerances. In addition, we determine if the estimated life cycle is greater than you need and if there are any other design warnings.

With over 75 years of custom torsion spring manufacturing experience, we solve the toughest challenges. Contact us if you need samples quickly or to setup a discussion with a knowledgeable engineer to review and advise on your design.

DOCUMENTATION, CERTIFICATES AND COMPLIANCE

As your trusted torsion spring manufacturer, Master Spring’s experience and quality process provide the documentation you require for your custom torsion springs.

We have experience providing a Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) to our customers. After receiving our PPAP report, you can assess our process stability, review our controls to provide conforming product and have an approval outlet for any torsion spring design changes.

We create a First Article Inspection Report (FAIR) for each production run. The FAIR indicates the nominal dimensions, tolerances, precise measurements and methods of measurement for a requested quantity. Each FAIR provides a record of the raw material heat number to provide traceability to the batch of wire used for each production run.

Upon request, we can include certificates of compliance, material certificates and finishing certifications with each shipment of torsion springs.

Strict vendor management and lot control enable us to comply with regulatory compliances, including Conflict Minerals, DFARS, REACH, RoHS or California Prop 65. Let us know your documentation, certificate and compliance requirements when you request a quote.

Center torsion spring made with stainless steel wire
Center torsion spring made with 0.012” type 302 stainless steel wire
Double Torsion Spring Made with Music Coated Wire
Double torsion spring made with 0.192” phosphate-coated music wire

Our CNC torsion machines form a wide range of wire sizes—giving us the ability to produce small torsion springs as well as torsion springs in larger sizes. With full CNC control of all axes, our machines can manufacture precise, custom torsion springs with wire diameters as small as 0.012” or as large as 0.250” (0.30mm to 6.35mm), and any size in between.

As a long-time, reliable torsion spring manufacturer, we have invested in a large inventory of torsion spring tooling to cover the wire diameter range for each torsion forming machine.

If your torsion spring requires custom tooling, our in-house tooling design and machining capability supplies custom tools quickly and economically.

WIRE MATERIAL TYPES

Master Spring maintains strong relationships with local, qualified wire distributors and mills that offer quality wire to meet your specifications. We have years of experience making custom torsion springs from many different material types:

High-carbon Spring Steel Wire : Hard-drawn wire, music wire and oil-tempered

Stainless Steel Wire: 302, 304, 316 and 17-7 PH

Non-ferrous Alloy Wire: Phosphor bronze, beryllium copper, brass, Monel

TORSION SPRING FINISHINGS

To complete your custom torsion springs, we offer an extensive variety of finishing types. We manage a strong network of local, qualified vendors who offer quality finishes, short lead times and competitive pricing. Learn more about our finishing services below.

Wire forms on a conveyor belt receiving in-line stress relief

In-house Stress Relief

We use in-line ovens at each torsion forming machine to apply low-temperature stress relief. This process alleviates residual stresses produced by prior cold forming and improves the torsion spring’s shape memory to maintain its coiled shape.

Five compression springs with shot peen finishing

Shot Peen

Shot peening improves resistance to fatigue, prevents cracking and increases lifecycle. The shot peening process blasts the surface of the wire with steel or glass pellets to create deformations. Our local, qualified vendors specialize in quality shot peening and surface preparation.

Three torsion springs that received tumble deburr treatment

Tumble

Tumbling improves surface finish by removing unwanted sharp edges and burrs from standard machine cuts.

Six wire forms with black oxide plating

Plate

Our large network of qualified platers provides a wide range of plating finishes such as black oxide, zinc, nickel, tin, trivalent chromate and many more finishes in a variety of colors.

Coil springs and wire forms with powder coat finishing

Powder Coat

Numerous powder coat colors are available for torsion springs.

Coil springs with passivate finishing in before and after stages

Passivate

An acid treatment for stainless steel, passivation removes contaminants and improves corrosion resistance. We recommend passivating stainless steel torsion springs used in the medical and food industries.

Custom springs with electropolish finishing in before and after stages

Electropolish

Electropolish brightens, removes burrs and passivates. For best results, use it on 300-series stainless steel types.

Coil spring types with in-house dye and paint finishes

In-house Dye or Paint

Color coding helps identify and distinguish similar parts in your assembly line. We use an environmentally safe, water-based polymer coating. This coating adheres to the torsion spring in-line immediately after oven stress-relief.

Two custom coil springs with e-coat finishing in black

E-coat

E-coat is an electrically applied paint coating that is used as a decorative or protective finish. It enhances appearance while also protecting the surface of torsion springs.

Custom wire forms with Magni 525 coat finishing in before and after stages

Magni Coat

Magni coat is a thin, paintable coat that provides exceptional corrosion protection in extreme environments. It is superior to zinc-plating.

Two wire forms with black plastic coating, called plastisol

Plastic Coat

We can add a plastic coating to your torsion springs in a variety of available colors.
