Choosing the Right Stainless Steel Compression Spring for Your Project

A stainless steel compression spring can come in many different shapes and sizes. When choosing the right spring for your project, you need the perfect combination of material, size, and strength to ensure it performs exactly as needed. We can manufacture a range of stainless steel compression springs, from small springs for light-duty applications to heavy-duty springs built to withstand high stress. Bring your design to us, and let us do the rest. 

Types of Stainless Steel Alloy for Compression Springs

When it comes to stainless steel compression springs, the material you choose matters. Boynes Springs offers a broad range of stainless steel alloys, each with its unique properties. Here are some common types:

  • 302/304 Stainless Steel: Known for its corrosion resistance, 304 stainless steel is the go-to for many applications, especially in outdoor or marine environments. It’s versatile, durable, and relatively cost-effective.
  • 316 Stainless Steel: If your compression spring needs to withstand harsh environments, 316 stainless steel is a great choice. It offers even better corrosion resistance than 304, making it ideal for saltwater or highly acidic conditions.

For any other stainless steel grades, please contact us for more information.

Different Sizes for Different Applications

  • Small Stainless Steel Compression Springs: Perfect for Light Loads

Small stainless steel compression springs are ideal for low-load applications. Think of things like electronics, small machinery, or even toys. These springs pack a punch in a small package, providing just the right amount of force for delicate, lightweight systems.

  • Large Stainless Steel Compression Springs: Built for Bigger Tasks

When the job calls for more strength, large stainless steel compression springs step up. These springs are designed to handle more pressure and heavier loads. They’re commonly used in automotive, construction, and industrial applications. If your project needs something that can bear a little more weight, a large compression spring is the way to go.

  • Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Compression Springs: Heavy Lifting Made Easy

Heavy-duty stainless steel compression springs are the tough guys in the spring world. Built for high-stress environments, these springs can handle intense pressure and frequent use. You’ll find them in applications like industrial machinery, aerospace, and heavy-duty equipment where reliability and strength are key.

Quality Assurance for Stainless Steel Compression Springs

Quality is non-negotiable when it comes to stainless steel compression springs. At Boynes Springs, we adhere to strict quality assurance processes to ensure that every spring we produce meets the highest standards.

  • Material Integrity: We use only the best stainless steel alloys and perform tests to check for defects, ensuring consistency in every spring.
  • Precision Manufacturing: Our machines are calibrated to the highest standards, ensuring that each spring is produced to the exact specifications of the design.
  • Load Testing: Each spring is tested to ensure it performs under the expected loads. If it doesn’t meet the standard, it’s rejected before it ever reaches you.
  • Final Inspection: Every spring undergoes a final inspection to confirm it matches the design and quality specifications. You can trust that every spring from Boynes Springs is built to last.

How to Get a Quote for Your Compression Spring Design

Got a spring design in mind? Getting a quote is simple. Bring your drawings or specifications to us, and we’ll provide you with a detailed cost estimate. Here’s how it works:

  • Send Us Your Drawings: Whether it’s a detailed CAD design or a rough sketch, send us the specs of your compression spring. The more detailed, the better, but don’t worry if it’s just an idea – we can help you refine it.
  • Material and Size: Tell us what alloy you prefer, the size, and the application. This will help us provide an accurate quote based on the specific material and manufacturing processes required.
  • Customisation Requests: If you need custom features like special coatings, finishes, or specific tolerances, let us know so we can factor that into the price.

Once we have all the details, we’ll provide you with a quote and lead time for your custom stainless steel compression spring.
