When off-the-shelf springs don’t meet your needs, Springquip makes it easy to order custom springs that are built exactly to your specifications. Thanks to our intuitive online ordering system, you can design and submit your custom spring requirements in minutes.

Follow this step-by-step guide to ensure a smooth ordering experience using the Create a Spring page.

Step 1: Visit the Custom Spring Creation Page

To start, head over to the Create a Spring Page. This page is designed to guide you through the customization process step by step.

You’ll find options for specifying various spring properties and selecting the exact type of spring you need. Before you begin, you may want to review our Guide to Measuring Springs Accurately to ensure you have the correct dimensions and specifications for your custom order.

Pro Tip: If you’re unsure about any spring dimensions (such as wire diameter or coil length), the guide will walk you through how to measure them accurately using simple tools.

Step 2: Select the Type of Spring You Need

The first step on the Create a Spring page is selecting the type of spring you wish to order. Springquip offers three main types:

• Compression Springs: These springs are used to resist compressive forces and return to their original shape when the force is released. Common applications include industrial machinery, automotive components, and more.
• Torsion Springs: Designed to exert torque or rotational force, these springs are commonly used in hinges, clips, and other mechanisms that require controlled motion.
• Extension Springs: These springs stretch under tension and return to their original length when released. They are commonly used in garage doors, trampolines, and various mechanical devices.

After selecting your spring type, the form will dynamically adjust to prompt you for the relevant details.

Step 3: Fill Out the Custom Spring Form

Once you’ve selected the type of spring, you’ll need to provide key specifications on the form. The fields available will depend on the spring type you’ve selected, but they typically include:

• Wire diameter: Specify the thickness of the wire to ensure the desired strength and flexibility.
• Outer or inner diameter: Define the spring’s width to fit your intended application.
• Coil length and number of coils: Determine the overall length and number of coils to achieve the correct tension or compression.
• Material: Choose the right material for durability, corrosion resistance, and performance. Options include stainless steel, high-carbon steel, and more.
• End configuration: Specify the type of ends (e.g., loops for extension springs or hooks) for proper attachment.

Tip: If you’re unsure about any specifications, refer to the How to Measure Springs Accurately guide to get precise measurements before submitting the form.

Once you’ve filled out the required fields, double-check the accuracy of the information. Incorrect specifications may result in delays or an improperly designed spring.

After verifying your details, click the Submit button at the bottom of the form. You’ll receive a confirmation that your request has been successfully sent.

One of our experienced sales agents will review your submission and contact you shortly to discuss any additional details, pricing, and order confirmation.
