Relying solely on stock spring designs poses substantial challenges to machine and product designers. With constantly evolving technology, stock springs often become rapidly unsuitable, rendering them inadequate for emerging applications. In such a context, updating specifications becomes a pressing concern.
Custom spring design services, such as those offered here at Airedale Springs, mitigate these challenges. Tailoring springs and wire forms to your precise requirements guarantees compatibility and enduring success. By partnering with skilled and experienced manufacturers like us, you invest not only in your products’ immediate performance but also in their long-term viability.

Invest in bespoke spring design and experience the merits of enhanced performance, expertise in materials and manufacturing, and top-notch design and technical support. Customised to your requirements, our springs offer superiority over generic, off-the-shelf alternatives.
Case Study Example: SPIRALGRIP LIMITED
Take SpiralGrip, for example. Through close collaboration during the development process, we helped them bring to life their innovative desk edge cable holder. Discover how our custom spring design can benefit your application results.
“The guys at Airedale Springs couldn’t have been more helpful in developing SpiralGrip. They worked with us on the design, sourced special material from the Far East and were very much part of the team taking the product to market. Their approach should be a lesson to all British manufacturing businesses.”
Cliff Burgin, Managing Director of SpiralGrip Limited
This example demonstrates how an idea and spring design developed at the machine will vastly reduce the timescale from concept to launch. At Airedale, we offer this personalised service and help clients bring ideas to life and on the market.
Our Custom Spring Manufacturing Process
- Initial Consultation
Our process commences with a detailed consultation. Our skilled engineers collaborate with you to identify your distinct needs for the customised spring design. At this stage, we examine factors like the operating environment, standards, weight, stress levels, and the spring’s anticipated lifespan.
B. Material Selection
After consultation, our team will evaluate the exceptional requirements of your design. We then select the most appropriate material for your springs. Choices span a broad spectrum, comprising stainless steel, titanium, brass, and more, whilst considering the varied physical, chemical, and mechanical properties.
C. Design and Prototyping
With material selection complete, we move to custom design and prototyping. Our latest software aids in crafting a tailored design, enhancing spring optimisation for your unique needs. For further precision, we offer prototype production, thus ensuring a match to specifications and guaranteed performance.
D. Manufacturing
Upon finalisation, the custom design undergoes manufacturing. We employ CNC machines for precise and efficient production. Our extensive array of machines accommodates almost all spring variations, ensuring versatility in meeting custom requirements.
E. Assembly and Integration
We don’t stop at manufacturing. Should it suit, we also offer assistance with integrating the bespoke springs into your products. Our specialist team handles complexities and procures particular materials, aiding successful integration processes.
F. Quality Control
The springs we manufacture undergo comprehensive quality control. Rigorous testing ensures each spring’s performance, scrutinising physical properties and verifying all crucial treatments, be they chemical or heat-related.
G. On-Time Delivery
After clearing our meticulous quality control, your custom springs are delivered on time. We adhere to your specifications and quantity requirements. Follow-ups are a part of our process, just to confirm proper function and to meet any concerns that arise.
