Wire forms and flat springs are formed from round wire or strip material but do not have a coiled body. They can incorporate hooks and bends to act as attachment points in the application.

Flat Springs covers a wide range of springs and forms fabricated from flat strip material which, on being deflected by an external load, will store and then release energy. Flat springs and strip forms are designed to perform functions beyond normal spring functions, e.g. act as a latch, or hold a part in position.
