Advanex Americas manufactures torsion springs which are helical springs that have ends that are rotated in angular deflection and offer resistance to externally applied torque. The wire itself is subjected to bending stresses rather than torsional stresses, as might be expected from the name. A torsion spring of this type is usually close wound, reduced in coil diameter and increased in body length as they are deflected. The designer must consider the effects of friction and arm deflection on the torque. The most commonly used end types are tangential and straight-offset legs, but we can design other end types based on your design. We work with a variety of materials to manufacture helical and spiral torsion springs including music wire, 302304 stainless steel, beryllium copper, Inconel, hastelloy and phosphor bronze. Our torsion springs can be made up to 0.157 with larger, custom sizes of 0.315 available. Torsion springs are found in a variety of applications including aerospace, automotive, medical and commercial.

Advanex Americas is a leading manufacturer of extension springs which are helical springs designed to absorb and store energy by offering resistance to a pulling force. Extension springs are used in a variety of applications including automotive, aerospace, medical and commercial. Our extension springs can be produced with wire diameters of .005 .320 and end type designs include full loops, German or machine hooks, English or cross-over hooks and extended hooks.

Compression springs are an open-coil helical spring that offers resistance to a compressive force applied axially. Compression springs are usually coiled as a constant diameter-cylinder. Other common forms of compression springs such as conical, concave, (barrel, ) convex (hourglass) or various combinations of these are used as required by the application. While square, rectangular or special-section wire may have to be specified, round wire is predominant in compression springs because it is readily available and adaptable to standard coiler tooling. Compression springs should be stress-relieved to remove residual forming stresses produced by the coiling operation. Advanex Americas can produce compression springs with wire diameters of .005 .320 in a variety of materials and specifications.

Wire forms have infinite uses and possess an equally large array of shapes and sizes. Wire forms can be anything from a load supporting link with negligible deflection to a tension applying component where a static load is necessary for proper function of an assembly. They perform similar functions as conventional flat springs.

Spring-type straight pins, also referred to as steel pins, are straightened wire cut to customer-specified lengths and tolerances. Straight pins are then cut, chamfered and polished to remove burrs and enhance performance. Upon request, straight pins can be treated with a protective finish to enhance surface texture. Advanex Americas can produce straight pins available in lengths up to 18 and diameters up .187. Contact us today for your custom spring manufacturing needs.

Plastic injection molding, like its name describes, consists of the process of injecting a thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic into a mold fixture to form a desired shape by utilizing some specialized machinery. The range of shape and form of the end product is only limited by the constraints of the final assembly or manufacturing capabilities. This range can be rather limitless and provides a solution to an equally large quantity of needs. Plastic injection molding components can be anything from small components such as grommets to much larger ones such as an automobiles body panel.

Combining our expertise in spring engineering and plastics, weve produced effective and lightweight plastic springs to meet our customers changing needs in the 21st century. We can produce springs in a variety of different materials, all with excellent memory, and protected against aging and thermal deformation through our unique form-stabilization technology. Ideal for medical usage, environments where non-magnetized parts are vital, and a whole range of other uses, plastic springs push out the boundaries of spring engineering capabilities.

Advanex Americas specializes in tight-tolerance and high precision metal stamping services. Metal stamping is composed of a large diversity of parts that are formed or blanked from flat stock spring steel material. Metal stamping components perform similar functions as conventional wire form springs by storing potential energy and releasing kinetic energy. These parts and components can be used in a variety of industries including acting as a support for components of an assembly, acting as electrical connectors or being used as hinges, braces, fasteners and an endless number of other applications. We can manufacture stampings that require press tonnage of up to 110 tons.
