Spring Design Service

Optimise the performance of your components with our Spring Design & Validation Service, available to both Member and Non-Member companies world-wide.

Did you know that 39% of all spring failures can be traced back to inappropriate design?  Your springs are critical components, often operating under arduous conditions of service. The design you choose will directly affect the performance of your product or application.

IST's expert spring design engineers and metallurgists can provide a complete design service to determine the optimum spring specification, material selection and manufacturing process to provide maximum performance.

Alternatively, IST's spring validation service will determine the suitability of an existing design for its application.
