Wire-Form Springs in Detail
Wire-formed springs are custom-bent wire components that perform retaining, guiding, or locking functions in assemblies. The focus here is not on a standardized spring characteristic curve, but rather on geometric adaptation to the installation space, function, and load.
In practice, wire-formed springs are often used as holders, clips, clamps, or functional components. For this reason, Alfred Weigel always designs wire-formed springs specifically for each project and adapts them to the respective application.
Our wire-formed springs are:
- corrosion- and chemical-resistant
- temperature-resistant
- Manufactured in accordance with DIN ISO 2768
- They are used wherever standard parts are not sufficient. Reduce your risk of customer complaints.
Standard vs. Custom Wire-Form Springs
Your Benefits at Alfred Weigel Federfabrik
Standard solution
- Fixed geometries and dimensions

- limited functionality
Weigel Spring Factory
Custom Wire-Form Spring by Alfred Weigel
- Design based on drawings, samples, or functional requirements
- Adaptation to Installation Space, Load, and Installation Conditions
- Careful selection of materials to withstand environmental and media influences
- Reliable performance throughout its entire service life
- Consistent quality from small-scale prototype production to mass production
A custom-designed wire-formed spring offers advantages in many applications, especially when:
- the available installation space is limited or complex
- several functions are to be combined into a single component
- Humidity, temperature, or other factors that affect the choice of material
- stable mass production is required without compromising on design
Thanks to the project-specific design, requirements are taken into account early on, thereby avoiding the need for later adjustments.
This ensures planning reliability in development, procurement, and mass production.
Selected Areas of Application
Wire-formed springs for the automotive industry
In the automotive industry, wire-formed springs perform a wide range of functions and must operate reliably over the long term under demanding conditions. They are exposed to mechanical stresses, temperature fluctuations, vibrations, and frequent motion cycles.

Typical applications include:
- Wire-formed springs in convertible top systems
- Retaining, guiding, and return elements in interior and exterior assemblies
- Contact and Retaining Springs in Electrical and Mechatronic Components
- Mechanical functional springs in locking, flap, and adjustment mechanisms
Precise design, reproducible spring forces, and suitable materials ensure that wire-formed springs function reliably over the long term, even in mass production.
Wire-formed springs for the
plumbing industry
In the plumbing industry, wire-formed springs play a key role in water-carrying and mechanical systems. They ensure precise movement, return to position, locking, or securing, and must function reliably over the long term despite exposure to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and chemical influences.

Typical applications include:
- Door and Window Technology
- Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Technology
- Plumbing Technology
- Blackout and Shading Systems
- Fire Protection Technology
A carefully engineered design and durable materials ensure a predictable service life and reduce maintenance and replacement costs.
Other Industrial Applications for Wire-Formed Springs
In addition to the areas mentioned, wire-formed springs are also used in other industrial applications where function, installation space, and environmental conditions must be taken into account on a case-by-case basis. The possible applications are determined by the component’s function, not by a fixed product category.
Prototyping and Sample Production
With wire-formed springs, it is crucial to test their functionality in the actual installation environment at an early stage. That is why sample and prototype production can be an integral part of your project workflow, if needed. It allows you to specifically evaluate and adjust the geometry, material, and function before series production is approved.
- Based on your drawing, a sample, or the functional requirements, we produce initial prototypes that can be tested in the intended system. Feedback from assembly, testing, or endurance tests is directly incorporated into the optimization of the wire-formed spring. This allows adjustments to be made before mass production begins. We would be happy to advise you, drawing on our many years of expertise in prototype manufacturing.
This structured approach reduces development risks, rework, and unplanned changes later in the project. The transition from the prototype spring to mass production is predictable and traceable.
