Leveraging its 100-plus years of experience in spring manufacturing, Hardware Products Company (HPC) is capable of forming any type of spring imaginable, from miniature to gargantuan, including complex configurations. Over the years, the company has built its success through its rapid prototyping capabilities for designing and manufacturing creative spring solutions, including custom compression springs. A compression spring is an open-coil helical spring that offers resistance to a compressive force when applied axially. Due to its shock-absorbing, energy-saving, and force-generating characteristics, compression springs are among the most widely used spring type in industrial applications. It's used in industrial machinery, measuring applications, motor vehicles, transportation equipment, medical instruments, and other vibration dampening and high-temperature environments. The company continues to expand on its strengths—skilled spring specialists, engineering innovation through research and development, and continued investment in state-of-the-art spring manufacturing equipment, systems, and processes—to form compression springs in a range of dimensions, loads, materials, and complexities, and match the requirements of demanding applications.
