Compression Springs are Katy Spring's specialty. Katy Spring is the premier manufacturer of compression springs in Houston, TX, which are open coil helical springs that offer resistance to compressive force applied axially. They are commonly coiled as a constant diameter cylinder. These springs are designed with the space between the coils governing the dimensional limits. These limits determine the stress level. Katy Spring manufactures a wide-range of sizes from large industrial springs to miniature compression springs.

Extension springs are closed-coiled helical springs that extend under a pulling force. Many design considerations must be made with extension springs including initial tension, stress, deflection of hooks, and hook end types.

Flat springs are typically custom springs and are made from jigs and specialized spring manufacturing tooling built by the spring manufacturer as a one-time spring manufacturing. They feature flat or near-flat coil shapes in a variety of sizes and thicknesses and are used to keep forces within restricted space conditions. When an external load is deflected onto the spring's flat strips, a flat spring stores energy and then releases it.

Torsion springs are helical springs that exert a torque or rotary force and are subject to bending stresses. Torsion springs should always wind up from the free position – never to unwind from the free position. As they wind up, torsion springs reduce in diameter and their length becomes longer. Such springs should be supported over a rod whenever possible. Some spacing should remain between coils to minimize friction which can alter torque and deflection.

Katy Spring manufactures more than just springs. We provide complex custom spring assemblies or sub-assemblies. Often clients request that our manufactured springs are incorporated into larger or more complex assemblies prior to the final application. We can combine springs and other spring-related components, available in lots of any size.

Katy Spring manufactures wire forms that come in an endless varieties of shapes, sizes, and materials. Several materials used to manufacture wire forms include:High carbon spring steel,Phosphor-bronze,Brass,Beryllium-copper,Stainless steel,Nickel-silver,High-nickel specialty alloys,Non-tempered wire.
