Hot Wound Springs

MW has been producing hot wound springs for over 70 years. Also known as hot coil springs, hot compression springs, or hot helical springs, hot wound springs are ideal for large springs or large wire diameter springs that are difficult to form from cold material.

Our Greer: Springs location, formerly known as Duer Carolina Coil, is known for their ability to support the design and manufacturing of hot wound springs. Their in-house engineering team can help answer questions and solve difficult challenges to ensure you get the highest performing, most cost-effective product possible.

Greer: Springs and MW share a commitment to quality, technology, process improvement and customers. We tightly control metallurgical processes to guarantee part quality to our customers, earning us a TS 16949 certification, among others. This guarantees the best delivery and the most competitive pricing. Contact us today for help with design needs or to request a quote for your part.

About Hot Wound Springs

Characteristics

Hot wound springs are produced by heating the metal (generally steel), forming it into the desired shape, and tempering it to the preferred specifications. Hot wound springs are preferred when larger steel springs are needed since steel in its natural state is difficult to form in larger applications without cracking.

Application & Industries

Hot wound springs are generally found in larger applications like vehicle suspensions, valve actuators, and in large trucks and outdoor equipment. They are used in several industries, some of which include, agriculture, automotive, construction, military, petrochemical, valves, and mining.
