Custom Spring Clip Engineering & Manufacturing
When engineering your spring clips or other types of flat forms, our technicians can work from your drawings, specifications, or part samples. As a leading spring clip manufacturer, we have the expertise needed to create customized solutions that will leave you with quality parts, to meet your expectations.
One important factor we will consider when engineering your springs or parts is: To maximize the cycle/life of the part it is important to keep the number of radii to a minimum and each radius as broad as possible. This is necessary because bends are typically where the highest stress concentrations occur. These are therefore the most likely location for a break. The minimum bend radius varies from material to material but normally a radius that is no less than 4 times the material thickness is recommended.
