Read on to learn about the markets we’ve served since Special Springs S.R.L. began operations in 1978, and how our nitrogen springs, wire springs, and die springs can help support production in your industry.

Automotive Tooling

 
Some of the world’s most notable automotive manufacturers utilize our products in their dies, including Audi, Volkswagen, Fiat, and Chrysler. The automotive industry requires high-quality springs to absorb energy, facilitate smooth functionality, and ensure the correct level of resistance when producing:

• Vehicle doors
• Hoods
• Trunks
• Tailgates
• Suspension systems

Appliances

 
The metal stamping and tooling dies that create parts for appliances ranging from washers and dryers to refrigerators and microwaves require reliable springs that allow action to occur at a controlled and constant speed while reducing spring wear for enhanced service life. They help produce:

• Access panels
• Hatches
• Doors
• Lids or covers

Oil Drilling and Fracking

 
Oil and gas-related production help create highly durable parts for harsh operating environments and rugged applications. Oil drilling and fracking operations utilize many types of vehicles and machinery, so Special Springs’ lasting products have applications in dies that make quality parts for:

• Extraction and pumping machinery
• Oil rigs
• Turbines
• Transport equipment and vehicles

Mining

 
Similarly, the mining industry needs high volumes of well-made components that will function reliably in extreme working conditions. For durable solutions to rigorous mining applications, this sector uses heavy duty springs in various equipment such as:

• Cranes
• Loaders
• Shakers
• Vibratory machinery
• Rock crushers

Heavy Trucks

 
Heavy trucks are responsible for transporting, lifting, lowering, supporting, and towing substantial weights. As such, they need enduring components that can elevate ride height, maintain smooth motion, keep up with repetitive tasks, and resist abrasion. For heavy vehicles, the industry incorporates heavy duty springs in many solutions including:

• Doors
• Hatches
• Tailgates
• Suspension systems

Metal Forming

 
Metal forming processes include fourslide, progressive die, and deep draw stamping, with each technique utilizing forming dies with a spring or nitrogen cylinder solution. Gas springs support cost-effective and safe production in this industry and extend equipment operating life. For smooth operation and high contact, closing, and clamping forces, metal stamping dies use nitrogen gas springs and other varieties to effectively:

• Form complex metal parts
• Open and lift tools
• Latch locks
• Eject components

Nitrogen Gas, Wire, and Die Springs by Special Springs

Special Springs manufactures and supplies nitrogen gas springs, wire springs, and compression die springs of exceptional quality and service life as die components for production in demanding industries. Safety is of the utmost concern, which is why we design and validate all of our products using highly advanced computer-aided engineering (CAE) and finite element method (FEM) analysis systems.
