Large Springs: Heavy-Duty Spring Solutions

Large springs are categorized as heavy duty springs, since the wire diameter is from 1/8" inch to 1" inch in size. These big springs release a tremendous amount of more force than regular springs. Large springs have several uses such as large industrial equipment, earth moving machines, agricultural equipment as well as locomotive suspensions.

Wire diameters for large springs are listed below . This partial list is of wire diameters available in Oil Tempered Chrome Silicon Wire ASTM A401. When designing your large springs please use a wire diameter from the list below and adjust your design in order to match the force you previously had. Like small springs, changing your large spring’s wire diameter makes a big difference due to the wire being so large. The larger the wire, the more force you can obtain form your large spring.

Large springs can also be Precision Springs. As mentioned before, changing the wire diameter does affect your springs force. If you need your large spring to be precise, we highly recommend you make some minor adjustments. If you had to change the wire diameter to a larger size, increase the outer diameter or add more coils. If you changed the wire diameter to a smaller size, decrease the outer diameter or subtract coils.
