Custom Wire Forms

Versatile Wire Forms are “springs” in every sense of the word, but they are distinguished by lack of helix or coil configuration as part of their design. Instead, they are wound into variations of a “U” or “V” configuration. Their primary purpose is to flex in and then snap back out. The familiar cotter pin is a typical example of a wire form.

Wire forms are most commonly used as fastening mechanisms, or clips, in machinery of every variation. These clips hold parts securely in place, but are easily removed when maintenance or adjustment is required.
