Custom Springs for Liquid Handling Equipment & Fluid Control Systems
Liquid handling equipment depends on precise, repeatable mechanical movement to aspirate, dispense, transfer, meter, and control fluids. Behind those processes are pumps, valves, dispensing mechanisms, actuators, and other mechanical assemblies that rely on springs and wire forms to provide controlled force, return, positioning, retention, and movement.
Wermke Spring Manufacturing produces custom springs and precision wire forms for liquid handling equipment and systems used in laboratory automation, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, clinical diagnostics, chemical processing, research, and industrial applications.
We manufacture directly from your drawings and specifications, with every component produced to your defined dimensions, tolerances, material requirements, and performance specifications.
If you have a drawing, send it to us.
Custom Spring Components for Liquid Handling Equipment
Liquid handling systems can involve complex combinations of pumps, valves, tubing, dispensing heads, pipettes, needles, actuators, and positioning mechanisms. Springs may be used throughout the equipment to provide the controlled mechanical response these assemblies require.
Wermke manufactures custom:
- Compression springs
- Extension springs
- Torsion springs
- Precision wire forms
- Spring clips and retainers
- Other custom spring components
Applications may include:
- Automated liquid handling and laboratory automation equipment
- Pipetting and dispensing mechanisms
- Sample and reagent handling systems
- Pump and pump-actuation mechanisms
- Valve and fluid-control mechanisms
- Syringe and metering equipment
- Clinical diagnostic instruments
- Pharmaceutical and biotechnology equipment
- Chemical analysis and processing equipment
- Research and laboratory instruments
Whether the spring controls movement, maintains force, returns a component to position, retains an assembly, or supports another mechanical func
tion, we manufacture it to the requirements of your application.
Built to Your Specifications
In liquid handling equipment, repeatable mechanical performance matters.
A spring that provides the wrong force, dimensional characteristics, or return behavior can affect the performance of the mechanism around it. That’s why Wermke manufactures each component to the specifications defined by your engineering team.
We manufacture to your:
- Dimensions and tolerances
- Load or force requirements
- Material specifications
- Operating conditions
- Design and performance requirements
No redesign. No interpretation. Just manufacturing to print.
Materials for Liquid Handling Applications
Material selection depends on the mechanical requirements and operating environment of the application.
Wermke works with a wide range of spring materials, including:
- Stainless steel
- Music wire
- High-carbon spring steel
- Phosphor bronze
- Beryllium copper
- Brass
- Other customer-specified materials
For applications where additional processing is required, Wermke can coordinate or provide secondary processes such as passivation, electropolishing, heat treatment, and other specified finishing operations.
Material and finishing requirements can be defined directly by your engineering specifications.
From Prototype to Production
Liquid handling equipment manufacturers often move from development and validation into recurring production. Your spring supplier needs to support that transition without requiring you to redesign the component or change suppliers as volumes evolve.
Wermke supports:
- Prototypes and early-stage production
- Small batches and short runs
- Ongoing production
- Scheduled production releases
- Quantities from individual components to high-volume requirements
There are no rigid minimum order quantities.
Whether you’re developing a new laboratory instrument or sourcing an established component for ongoing production, we manufacture the spring or wire form to the requirements of your design.
Quality You Can Build Into Your Equipment
Wermke Spring Manufacturing maintains an ISO 9001:2015-certified Quality Management System and documented inspection processes to support consistent spring production. Production runs receive documented inspection, and material certifications and other quality documentation are available as specified.
For liquid handling equipment manufacturers, that means your spring components are produced through a controlled manufacturing process designed around repeatability, dimensional consistency, and conformance to specification.
A Custom Spring Manufacturer for Liquid Handling Equipment
You don’t need a standard spring when your equipment requires a specific force, geometry, material, or mechanical response.
Wermke Spring has manufactured custom springs and wire forms since 1953, supporting equipment manufacturers across laboratory, medical, industrial, and other demanding applications.
If your liquid handling equipment requires a custom spring or wire form, send us your drawing or specification.
