Springs are a vital component in trains and their functionality. From our manufacturing factories across the UK, we provide high-quality springs, wire forms, and pressings to rail networks across the world.
At European Springs & Pressings, we take great pride in making components that are integral to the smooth functioning of rail vehicles.
We design, manufacture, and test our components in the same facility, giving our customers an end-to-end process that removes delays and provides supply chain transparency. Here’s why we’re the best fit for rail industry springs and pressings:
As rail spring manufacturers, we supply components that are used throughout the rail network in essential applications, including:
Springs and pressings for the rail industry need to be strong, durable, corrosion-resistant and capable of withstanding years of supporting heavy loads.
Steel Springs are commonly used for rail suspension systems due to their good wear resistance, low maintenance requirements and cost-effectiveness. For suspension applications, steel can be alloyed with high levels of silicon to improve hardness and strength – perfect for bearing the weight of a heavy railway carriage.
Beyond steel, applications that require electrical conductivity will often be made of beryllium copper, which we supply for both our springs and pressings. Equally, aluminium pressings are ideal for applications needing a lightweight yet strong material.
Our engineers can advise on the best material and spring type to meet your environmental requirements.
With over 70 years of experience as spring manufacturers, we have a long-standing reputation for supplying high-quality springs and pressings to the rail sector. Our products are designed to withstand years of heavy use, support the weight of railway carriages, and ensure safe, reliable operation across rail networks worldwide.
