Custom Springs for Agricultural Equipment
Century Spring is proud to supply high-quality custom springs tailored to your application's unique requirements. We offer numerous customization options, including high spring rates, corrosion-resistant materials, and surface finish options. Our agricultural equipment manufacturing partners rely on our high-quality custom products in tractor, combine, tiller, sprayer, and baler mechanisms.
For example, we routinely collaborate with manufacturers of rugged deep tillage, zone tillage, and vertical tillage equipment and understand the unique requirements of these custom heavy-duty coil springs. Our engineers can work directly alongside you to develop custom spring solutions for farm equipment and show you how to maximize the useful life of components.
Our technical support teams are well-equipped to help you navigate the requirements of your agriculture application to determine if you need a custom spring solution. Our Custom Manufacturing Services include expert support for your project through all phases of product development, including prototyping options, so you can verify the form and function of your custom spring during conceptual design stages.
Durable Materials: We offer high-quality spring materials well-suited for outdoor use in farms and fields, under the most extreme weather and temperatures. These materials provide unmatched strength, corrosion protection, and fatigue resistance in the face of large impact loads and vibrations. Such material options help ensure the reliable performance of agricultural equipment in the most wear-intensive applications.
We also hold a wide selection of high-performance Spring Materials in stock to minimize the development time of custom solutions.
Customization Options: We offer thousands of custom spring sizes, styles, and finish options to meet the complex requirements of agricultural heavy machinery, including brake systems, clutches, suspensions, and hydraulic assemblies. Our experts bring decades of heavy machinery design to your project and will work closely with you to create, refine, and optimize a design solution tailored to your unique performance requirements.
Precision Manufacturing: Our cutting-edge manufacturing capabilities include computational simulation and testing techniques, as well as self-monitoring CNC coiling machines, enabling us to manufacture springs with large wire diameters that meet the strict quality and tolerance requirements of farm machinery OEMs. Our equipment is fully equipped with digital load-testing equipment, capable of testing loads up to 150,000 lb, to verify that your spring meets your precise loading and lifecycle requirements.

Springs Built for Agricultural Conditions
Springs in agricultural equipment must withstand heavy impact loads and large temperature fluctuations in environments contaminated with significant dust, dirt, and industrial fluids. They must withstand large vibrations and deliver consistent, reliable performance for hours of high-cycle, wear-intensive use.
For example, large agricultural equipment and earth-moving machinery, such as harvesters, seeders, and irrigation equipment. Springs are also used in some farm equipment suspension systems as the primary shock-absorbing components in vehicles that traverse large acreages of fields, reshaping the ground as they move over uneven terrain. Such applications necessitate that springs be fabricated from high-strength spring materials that are resistant to high temperatures and contamination from dirt, debris, and industrial fluids. Common stock and custom spring materials for agricultural equipment and farm machinery include:
- Carbon Steel
- Stainless Steel
- Inconel®
- Hastelloy®
- Monel
- Titanium
Consider a spring fabricated from a carbon steel material class for light to medium load applications. In such applications, if corrosion resistance is paramount, a stainless steel spring is an economical option. If you need a lightweight spring, consider selecting a titanium spring material. Additionally, you may require an Inconel® spring if your application experiences extremely high temperatures. Finally, if your high-load spring application requires significant corrosion resistance against a wide range of fluid contaminants, Hastelloy® might be a suitable choice.
FAQs About Agricultural Springs
Can I order custom spring solutions for agricultural equipment?
Yes. Century Spring is a trusted supplier of custom springs and wire form products for a wide range of heavy machinery applications, including farm and agricultural equipment. We can manufacture springs to several applicable military Specifications (MIL-SPEC), demonstrating that your springs perform as intended under the most demanding environments.
How do you select a spring to maximize performance in heavy cyclic loading and vibration applications?
When shopping for a spring for your agricultural equipment application, consider the following factors to enhance longevity and maximize performance during your selection process.
- Load Optimization: To minimize spring stress during deformation, shop for a smaller spring with larger wire diameters or explore ways to reduce the design loads of your application.
- Environmental Protection: Select suitable materials and secondary surface treatment options that are compatible with specific environmental conditions, such as exposure to fluids and debris.
- Cyclic Loading: If your application involves significant dynamically oscillating loads, you should verify that the operating frequency is significantly lower than the spring's natural frequency to prevent resonance issues
What spring materials are best for corrosion resistance in the field?
In simple terms, springs in agricultural equipment are typically high-strength springs that also require significant corrosion protection against exposure to a wide range of fluids and debris.
Consider a stainless steel spring if corrosion resistance is paramount and your design loads are low to moderate in magnitude. You may need a custom Inconel® spring if your application also experiences high temperature fluctuations. Finally, if your high-load application requires significant corrosion resistance even when exposed to corrosive industrial fluids, consider Hastelloy® as a custom spring material.
Does Century Spring offer rapid prototyping capabilities for agriculture and farm equipment applications?
We offer prototype options tailored to any custom spring configuration, enabling you to verify your spring’s form, fit, and function through comprehensive qualification testing.
Such capabilities enable us to quickly manufacture custom prototype parts and scale to full production quantities within compressed timeframes.
