Wire form springs in detail
Wire form springs are individually bent wire components that perform holding, guiding or securing functions in assemblies. The focus here is not on the standardized spring characteristic curve, but on the geometric adaptation to the installation space, function and load.
In practice, wire form springs are often used as holders, clips, clamps or functional parts. This is why Alfred Weigel always designs wire form springs for specific projects and adapts them to the respective application.
Your advantages at Alfred Weigel Federfabrik
Conventional wire form spring
- Fixed geometries and dimensions
- Limited adaptation to the installation space
- General material selection
- limited functionality
- Often compromises in assembly and service life
Customized wire form spring from Alfred Weigel
- Design according to drawing, sample or functional requirement
- Adaptation to installation space, load and installation situation
- Targeted material selection for environmental and media influences
- Stable function over the entire service life
- Reproducible quality from the smallest prototype to series production
A customized wire form spring offers advantages in many applications, especially when:
- the available installation space is limited or complex
- several functions are to be combined in one component
- Moisture, temperature or other influences affect the choice of material
- stable series production without design compromises is required
The project-specific design means that requirements are taken into account at an early stage and subsequent adjustments are avoided. This ensures planning reliability in development, purchasing and series production.

Selected application examples
Wire springs for the automotive industry
In the automotive industry, wire springs perform a variety of functions and must work reliably over the long term under demanding conditions. They are exposed to mechanical loads, temperature fluctuations, vibrations and frequent movement cycles.
Typical applications are
- Wire springs in convertible top systems
- Retaining, guiding and restoring elements in interior and exterior assemblies
- Contact and fuse springs in electrical and mechatronic components
- Mechanical function springs in locking, flap and adjustment mechanisms
A precise design, reproducible spring forces and suitable materials ensure that wire form springs function reliably over the long term, even in series production.

Wire form springs for the sanitary industry
In the sanitary industry, wire springs perform key functions in water-bearing and mechanical systems. They ensure defined movements, resetting, locking or securing and must function reliably and permanently under humidity, temperature fluctuations and chemical influences.
Typical applications are
- Wire form springs in bathtub drains and wall drains
- Mechanical function springs in cisterns
- Spring solutions in shower systems
- Retaining and securing elements in assembly systems
Wire springs from Alfred Weigel are tailored to project-specific installation space, function and service life. This ensures reliable function and consistent quality in the series production of sanitary components.

Wire springs for building services engineering
In building services engineering, wire springs must function reliably under humidity, temperature fluctuations and permanent loads. Failure quickly leads to maintenance work or complaints.
Typical applications are
- Door and window technology
- Heating, ventilation and air conditioning technology
- Sanitary engineering
- Blackout and shading systems
- Fire protection technology
A coordinated design and material resistance ensure a predictable service life and reduce maintenance and replacement costs.

Other industrial applications for wire form springs
In addition to the areas mentioned, wire form springs are also used in other industrial applications where the function, installation space and ambient conditions must be taken into account individually. The possible applications result from the function of the component, not from a fixed product category.

Selected application examples
With wire form springs, it is crucial to test the function in real installation at an early stage. This is why sample and prototype production can be an integral part of your project process, if required. It makes it possible to specifically evaluate and adapt the geometry, material and function before series release.
Based on your drawing, a sample or the functional requirements, we produce initial samples that can be tested in the intended system. Feedback from assembly, trials or endurance tests flows directly into the optimization of the wire form spring. This allows adjustments to be made before series production starts.
This structured approach reduces development risks, rework and unplanned changes later on in the project. The transition from the sample nib to series production is predictable and traceable.
