Not sure a design will perform — or want to check the quality before you order? GL Springs makes it easy to get a custom spring prototype or sample in hand. Validate fit, force, and finish on a real, inspected part in 5–7 days, or send us an existing spring to reverse-engineer. Prototype first, then move to production with confidence.

Spring Prototyping & Free Samples

How to Get a Sample

- Catalog items (≤5 pcs): free  you pay only the shipping cost
-Custom samples: $50 sample fee, fully refundable (deducted from your future order) 
-Typical turnaround: 5–7 business days
-Every sample includes an inspection report and full dimensional data

Reverse Engineering

Have a spring but no drawing? Send us 3–5 sample pieces. We analyze the material and performance and deliver matched prototypes within 7 days.

What We Can Prototype

- Custom shapes: conical, barrel, double-torsion, and more
- Materials: high-carbon steel (65Mn/70Mn), stainless (301/302/304/316), alloy steel (50CrV/55CrSi/60Si2Mn), and custom materials
- Surface treatments: electroplating, powder coating, electrophoretic coating
- Extreme-condition springs: high-temperature and cryogenic

From Prototype to Production

Once you approve the sample, we move into mass production using the same validated tooling and process — so what you tested is exactly what you receive at volume.

Are you a factory or trading company? Where is the company located?

We are a leading manufacturer of high-precision springs with IATF 16949 certification, located in Shanghai.

What materials do you use for springs?

We work with:

  • High-carbon steel (Grade 65Mn/70Mn) – most common for industrial use
  • Stainless steel (301/302/304/316) – corrosion resistance
  • Alloy steel (50CrV/55CrSi/60Si2Mn) – high-temperature resistance
  • Custom materials (available upon request)

Can you produce non-standard springs?

Yes! We specialize in:

  • Custom shapes (Conical, Barrel, Double torsion)
  • Special surface treatments (Electroplating, Powder coating, Electrophoretic coating)
  • Extreme-condition springs (High temperature / Cryogenic)

Can you match competitor samples?

We offer reverse engineering services:

  1. Send samples (3–5 pcs ideal)
  2. We’ll analyze material & performance
  3. Provide matched prototypes within 7 days

Do you provide free samples?

  • Existing catalog items (≤5 pcs): you only pay actual shipping cost.
  • Custom sample service: $50 refundable fee (deducted from future orders).

How long does it take for samples?

Typically 5-7 business days. Depends on your request.
