Custom Compression Springs
Stalder Spring Works Inc. is an industry-leading compression springs manufacturer. By far the most popular type of spring, custom compression springs are engineered to resist compression and to return to their uncompressed form once the force is withdrawn. We think outside of the box to provide our customers with compression springs that other companies may not be able to. In the past, we have even built our own machines for particularly unique jobs. The common configurations of metal coil springs we fabricate include:
- Helical
- Conical
- Barrel Shaped
- Hourglass Shaped
- With Custom Ground or Un-ground Ends

Material Types
At Stalder Spring, our goal is to meet the needs of our customers. We don't see ourselves so much as a job shop or stock compression spring manufacturer, but as a company that forms long-term working relationships with our clients. We are able to stock customers’ springs so that we can offer a shorter turnaround time on future orders. Our expert technicians and machines can fabricate almost any material, but the most common materials are:
Other specialty compression spring materials are available upon request.

Body Types We Fabricate
At Stalder Spring Works, we manufacture various body types to meet specific application needs. Each design offers unique benefits for performance and usability:
Helical Springs:
- Overview: Maintain a consistent diameter along the entire body.
- Advantages: Feature a linear spring rate, providing reliable and predictable loads that are easy to calculate.
- Applications: Common in engines, valves, and industrial tools.
- Why Choose Helical: The most economical option for compression springs.
Barrel Springs:
- Overview: Have a smaller diameter at both ends and a wider middle.
- Advantages: Prevent buckling, reduce vibration, and deliver a non-linear spring rate while providing aesthetic appeal.
- Applications: Found in specialty machinery and aesthetically sensitive designs.
Conical Springs:
- Overview: Feature a large diameter at one end that tapers to a smaller diameter at the other.
- Advantages: Prevent buckling, reduce solid height, minimize vibration, and offer a non-linear spring rate.
- Applications: Used in battery compartments, shock absorbers, and other constrained spaces.
- Manufacturing Note: These springs are slightly more complex to produce.
Hourglass Springs:
- Overview: Feature larger diameters at the ends with a narrow middle.
- Advantages: Offer all the benefits of barrel springs but are the most challenging to manufacture.
- Applications: Ideal for high-precision applications where aesthetics and performance are equally critical.
Custom End Grinding Services
To ensure optimal performance and functionality, Stalder Spring Works offers custom end grinding services:
Unground Ends
- Overview: Starting point for all compression springs.
- Drawbacks: May wobble or fail to sit flat, impacting performance.
- Advantages: More economical than ground ends.
Ground Ends:
- Overview: Precision-ground ends that sit flat and offer a stable base.
- Advantages: Improves stability, reduces wobbling, and enhances aesthetics. Deburring or chamfering is available for an even cleaner finish.
- Applications: Necessary for springs used in precision machinery or load-bearing applications.
