What wire diameter range can you handle?
We coil wire from 0.2 mm to 8.0 mm (0.008″–0.315″) in diameter, covering everything from delicate precision springs to heavy-duty coil springs. Our manufacturing capabilities.
What surface finishes are available?
We offer zinc plating, chrome plating, nickel plating, powder coating, black oxide, passivation, painting, titanium nitride coating, heat treatment, and anodizing. Tell us your corrosion-resistance or appearance requirements and we’ll recommend the right finish. Guide to spring coatings.
What tolerances can you hold?
We hold tolerances as tight as ±0.01 mm (±0.0004″), and precision grinding ensures consistent end-face squareness on compression springs. Our quality process.
Quotation, Samples & Ordering
How do I get a quotation?
Send your drawings or dimensions, material requirements, and quantities through our contact page or Get a Quote form. We typically reply with a quotation within 24 hours.
What information do you need for an accurate quote?
A drawing with tolerances is ideal, plus material, quantity, surface finish, and your preferred trade terms. The more complete your information, the faster and more accurate our quote. No drawing? Mail us a sample and we’ll quote from it. Request a quote.
What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Our MOQ is 100 pcs for most custom springs — low enough for prototypes and trial orders, with sharply decreasing unit prices at higher volumes. Start your project.
Do you provide samples? Are they free?
Yes. Samples are ready in 2–5 working days. If the material is in stock and no new tooling is required, samples are free — you only cover the shipping cost.
How long is the lead time for mass production?
Mass production typically takes around 2 weeks, depending on order quantity and complexity. Rush service is available when you’re up against a deadline. Our production service.
How is the price of a custom spring calculated?
Five factors: material, structural complexity, tolerance level, order quantity, and surface finish. Larger quantities bring the unit price down significantly — that’s why we always quote in volume tiers. Get a quotation.
