The leaf spring is a robust and flexible spring that absorbs forces and returns them by bending. This makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, from vehicles and agricultural machines to industrial installations.
Leaf springs offer a reliable and sustainable solution for applications that require resilience, support or damping. They are made of resilient tape or strip material and mounted in a curved shape. The smart combination of geometry and resilient material creates a powerful, damping effect.
Depending on the application, a leaf spring can provide support, absorb forces or function as a clamping spring.
From medical technology to industrial automation, in smartphones, leaf springs provide a consistent, tactile click with every button. In operating rooms, they contribute to the precision and reliability of surgical instruments. Within the industrial sector, they absorb shocks in machines, leading to more stability and less wear. Leaf springs also play a crucial role in security systems by providing constant tension without glitches or loss of performance. Thanks to their wear resistance, corrosion resistance and customization options, our leaf springs offer reliable solutions for a wide range of applications.
A leaf spring is a flat or curved piece of spring steel that bends under load. Leaf springs are used where progressive spring action, shock absorption or assurance is required, such as in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and the mobility sector.
Leaf springs are made of spring steel, stainless steel (301, 304, 316), phosphor bronze, brass, tailored to the desired spring properties, corrosion resistance and ambient temperature.
Leaf springs are almost always custom-made, because the geometry depends a lot on the application. We quickly produce small and medium series on demand.
A leaf spring bends over a flat or curved surface, while a disc spring provides axial force through compression. Leaf springs are often suitable for lateral or tangential loads.
Yes, we produce custom leaf springs based on drawings, samples or specifications. Complex shapes with recesses or bends are also possible via bending and stamping. In addition, we can laser cut leaf springs for specific dimensions.
