What makes leaf springs unique?
In contrast to compression springs, tension springs whether torsion springs, which derive their strength from wire, leaf springs are made of flat sheet material. They obtain their resilience through controlled bending. Thanks to their flat, compact shape, leaf springs are ideally suited for applications with limited installation space but high spring loads.
Accurate leaf spring calculation is a crucial part of the design and manufacturing process. Parameters such as thickness, material type, force progression, and maximum load are carefully evaluated. Our engineers support you throughout this process, ensuring that the selected leaf spring perfectly matches your application.
Where are leaf springs used?
Leaf springs demonstrate their value across a wide range of industries. Each sector requires specific performance characteristics, this is where our custom solutions excel:
- Mechanical engineering: In grippers, couplings, and valve systems, leaf springs provide controlled force absorption, return action, and vibration damping.
- Agricultural: Seed drills, shut-off systems, and transport equipment rely on robust steel leaf springs that can withstand dirt, moisture, and intensive loading.
- Defence & Aerospace: Leaf springs deliver reliability and safety in vehicles, technical equipment, and stabilisation systems.
In addition, there is growing demand for leaf springs in the energy sector (wind turbines), automotive applications (shock absorption and braking systems), and medical technology. In all these industries, our leaf spring expertise plays a decisive role.
Why choose De Spiraal as your leaf spring manufacturer?
De Spiraal is a specialised leaf spring manufacturer where craftsmanship and modern production techniques come together. Our specialists are involved from the earliest design stages, advising on material selection, geometry, and force characteristics. Through precise leaf spring calculations, we ensure that each spring fully meets the technical requirements of your application.
In our production facility, we manufacture both stainless steel and carbon steel leaf springs using techniques such as CNC cutting, punching, and thermal post-treatment. This guarantees dimensional accuracy, durability, and reliable spring performance. When a leaf spring must be replaced due to wear or technical failure, we analyse the existing design and develop an equivalent or improved solution. In many cases, replacement becomes not only a repair but also an opportunity for optimisation.
With our extensive leaf spring expertise, you can rely on consistent quality and dependable performance.
