Design Engineering Support

Our engineers use proprietary and commercial spring design software to evaluate your application, recommend spring configurations, and review specifications alongside your design team before a single coil is formed. Involving our engineers early reduces development cost, shortens lead time, and often reveals whether a standard spring, custom design, or complete assembly is the right answer.

Rapid Spring Prototyping

3-d printer creating prototype for JES.Prototyping is where designs earn their production release. We produce functional spring prototypes in specialty alloys including 300 Series stainless steels, Inconel®, Elgiloy®, 1074/1095 carbon steels, and music wire, with design iteration handled in-house rather than across a supplier chain. Explore our spring prototyping capabilities.

In-House Tooling

Picture of machine doing custom tooling.Tooling built under the same roof as production means faster iterations, tighter process control, and no waiting on outside tool shops when a design changes. Our in-house tooling capability is one of the practical reasons prototype-to-production handoffs at John Evans’ Sons stay on schedule.

Precision Manufacturing and Secondary Operations

Beyond spring forming, our manufacturing services include CNC machining, metal stamping and forming, heat treating, and laser etching, allowing complex components to be completed without leaving the building. Fewer outside processes means fewer sources of variation, which is the quiet advantage behind every tight-tolerance part we ship. See the materials we work with.

Micro Springs and Miniature Components

John Evans' Sons micro motor brush springs, constant force.When designs shrink, process control matters more, not less. We manufacture micro springs, components often smaller than a grain of rice, for surgical tools, wearable sensors, aerospace instruments, and other applications where miniaturization meets performance. Explore our micro spring capabilities.

Custom Mechanical Spring Assemblies

John Evans' Son constant force spring mechanical assemblies.Many customers don’t need a spring; they need the mechanism the spring lives in. We deliver turnkey assemblies combining our springs with wire forms, stampings, shafts, machined components, and customer-supplied parts, giving you one-stop sourcing with one accountable supplier instead of dimensional headaches across five vendors. Explore our mechanical assembly capabilities.

Certified Quality at Every Step

Every capability on this page operates under a quality management system certified to ISO 9001:2015, AS9100D, and ISO 13485:2016, supporting aerospace, defense, and medical device programs where documentation is as critical as the component. View our certifications.

Industries We Support

These capabilities serve medical device, aerospace, defense, robotics, and industrial customers worldwide, including constant force springs aboard NASA’s Curiosity and Perseverance Mars rovers.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Capabilities

Does John Evans’ Sons offer spring design assistance?
Yes. Our fully staffed engineering department provides design assistance using proprietary and commercial spring design software, reviewing specifications with your team from concept through production. Contact us to start a design conversation.

Can John Evans’ Sons make spring prototypes?
Yes. We provide rapid spring prototyping in specialty alloys including stainless steel, Inconel®, and Elgiloy®, with in-house tooling that keeps design iterations fast.
