Common Uses Of Flat Springs

    Flat springs are commonly used as electrical contacts – as spacers or grounds. During post-production, manufacturers add coatings to enhance corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity.

    By combining a flat coil spring with a counterweight, it can be utilised to regulate the action of valves, making it suitable for vehicle exhaust systems. Flat compression springs are present in seats to provide the necessary support and leaf springs are ideal for oil and gas centralisation systems. There is a broad range of materials used to manufacture flat springs to meet intended applications. The shape and size variations are unlimited, and there are different choices for finishes for all types of flat springs.
