Types of Automotive Springs We Manufacture
Wermke Spring offers a comprehensive range of spring types commonly used in the automotive sector:
Compression Springs
Compression springs are used throughout vehicles to absorb shock, maintain force, and support weight. Common automotive uses include suspension systems, valve assemblies, and brake components.
Extension Springs
Extension springs store energy and provide resistance when pulled apart. In automotive applications, they are often used in trunk mechanisms, interior assemblies, and linkage systems.
Torsion Springs
Torsion springs provide rotational force and are ideal for applications like trunk hinges, gear shifts, and seating systems. Their ability to control movement makes them critical in safety and mechanical systems.
Custom Wire Forms
From clips and fasteners to custom brackets, our wire form products are tailored for unique configurations required in vehicle manufacturing and assembly.
Spring Clips and Washers
Used in both mechanical and electrical assemblies, spring clips and spring washers provide fastening, grounding, or tensioning within compact, durable designs.

Common Questions About Automotive Springs
What materials are best for automotive springs?
Automotive springs are typically made from high-strength materials like music wire, stainless steel, and oil-tempered wire. The best choice depends on factors such as load, operating environment, and corrosion resistance.
Can you manufacture custom springs for electric vehicles?
Yes. We work with automotive innovators to develop springs for electric vehicle (EV) applications, including lightweight materials and compact designs for battery systems and power electronics.
What tolerances can you meet for automotive spring components?
Wermke Spring offers tight tolerance manufacturing with precision control. We work with each client to meet or exceed their engineering specifications, including tolerances for force, load, and dimensions.
How do I know if I need a compression or torsion spring?
It depends on the function of the component. Compression springs resist compressive force (push), while torsion springs respond to torque or rotational force. Our team can help identify the best spring type for your application during the design process.
