Specialist compression springs

The springs supplied are mainly compression springs used in the production of cartridge valves/integrated circuits controlling motion and/or load. Areas of application include automotive and construction with companies such as Volvo and JCB. The springs range in size from 0.15 to 8mm wire diameter in cold drawn carbon springs steels, oil tempered and stainless steel wire. 

William Hughes also helps with the design and engineering of springs for new applications. For example, Eaton’s engineers will provide a specification for a new spring and, using their knowledge and experience, William Hughes’ engineers select suitable materials, tolerances and processes to provide an efficient and cost effective solution.

In many instances, prototype samples are manufactured for evaluation and when the design is finalised samples are submitted to Eaton’s pre-production approval process. 

William Hughes can also arrange stocking based on DLF(Direct Line Feed), scheduled call-off or spot orders to precisely match Eaton’s requirements.
