Stainless Steel Springs
Springs are always components that should not be overlooked in an industrial mechanism:
Difficult to describe precisely, costing very little but capable of causing enormous damage in the event of a technical problem, often susceptible to wear and tear—and in particular to oxidation in hard-to-reach, often damp corners of certain machines— springs can break after a few years, ruining the machines you’ve brought to market—and… your reputation with your customers at the same time.
Many spring manufacturers will offer you “low-cost” “anti-corrosion treatments” after manufacturing, or the use of “protected wire.”
Not us.
If we believe that your intended use of our springs is demanding or risky, we will always recommend stainless steel components—even if that means our quote is not the lowest...
We will not compromise on our quality—or... on yours!
Stainless Steel Springs: A Closer Look
A spring costs very little , but it has the potential to cause significant damage in the event of a technical problem. Often susceptible to aging and oxidation—especially in hard-to-reach, damp areas—it can break after a few years, ruining both the machine and the manufacturer’s brand image.
Many manufacturers offer, at a lower cost, post-manufacturing anti-corrosion treatment or pre- -protected wire. When we believe the application is demanding or risky, we prefer to consistently offer stainless steel components—even if our price isn’t the lowest.

Describe your environment (humidity, accessibility, criticality of the mechanism): we'll recommend the most reliable solution, not the cheapest one.

Because springs are often installed in hard-to-reach, damp corners, where oxidation progresses undetected until the spring breaks—which can ruin the machine and damage the manufacturer’s brand image.
No. When an application seems demanding or risky, we always recommend components made of stainless steel rather than those with just a surface treatment or a shielded wire.
Not necessarily—but we don't compromise on quality, even if it means we aren't the lowest- .
Tell us about your application—environment, exposure to moisture, and how critical the mechanism is—and we at will recommend the most reliable solution, not the cheapest one.
