The Role of Automotive Springs: Precision Engineering for Performance and Safety
Did you know that new car smell comes from springs?
JK. But when it comes to automotive performance, safety, and reliability, springs play a crucial role in nearly every system of a vehicle.
From suspensions that absorb road shocks to seatbelt retractors ensuring passenger safety, automotive springs are designed for durability, precision, and efficiency.
At Tennessee Spring and Metal, we specialize in manufacturing high-quality automotive springs using 100% traceable wire, ensuring consistent performance and compliance with industry standards. Proudly Made in America, our springs support the nation’s automotive industry with superior craftsmanship and unparalleled customer service.
Types of Automotive Springs and Their Applications
1. Suspension Springs
Suspension springs are vital components that absorb shocks from the road, ensuring a smooth ride and vehicle stability. Our Coil Springs are used in both front and rear suspension systems, trailers, semi-trucks, ATVs, and recreational vehicles to help maintain ride height and absorb impacts from uneven terrain.
2. Valve Springs
Valve springs are small yet powerful components within an engine’s cylinder head, ensuring proper timing of valve openings and closings. Made from high-strength steel, these springs must withstand extreme temperatures and repeated stress to maintain engine efficiency.
3. Clutch and Transmission Springs
In both manual and automatic transmissions, springs help regulate gear shifts, clutch engagement, and overall drivability. High-precision coil springs contribute to smoother transitions between gears, reducing wear on transmission components.
4. Brake Springs
Brake springs are essential for maintaining proper brake pad positioning and function. Whether in drum or disc brake systems, these springs ensure effective braking performance by retracting pads and reducing unnecessary friction.
5. Seatbelt Springs
Safety is paramount in automotive design, and seatbelt retractor springs play a significant role. These springs allow seatbelts to retract smoothly while providing tension to lock in place during sudden stops or collisions.
6. Door, Hood, and Trunk Springs
Automotive hinges and latches rely on precision-engineered springs to provide smooth operation. Hood and trunk springs ensure controlled opening and closing, preventing sudden movements that could cause damage or injury.
