FRP-Springs

Advantages over conventional steel springs…

• 70% weight reduction compared to a steel spring
• flexible shape, fits in every installation space
• corrosion-free
• high material intrinsic damping (acoustics)
• significantly higher frequencies of first eigenmodes

Our competencies

Advance developments

Fiber-plastic composites (FRP) create unimagined scope for developers. The aim of our work is to exploit the diversity of these materials, to find the right form for every application and to promote further developments.

We will develop the right spring concept for you and show you the solution that meets your requirements.

Our work is based on precise analyzes and new calculation methods in order to use FRP more appropriately to the material and thus more effectively.

Latest Innovation

High-performance spring accumulator for numerous applications

By using a newly developed buckling bar spring, we dramatically change the force-travel course of the spring.

As a consequence, there are numerous advantages for manufacturers and users.

Passion for springs!

We have been advancing developments and pushing the limits of what is possible for almost 15 years. The FRP spring offers an almost immeasurable number of possibilities for every application and is superior to conventional spring elements in numerous aspects.

More advantages of FRP springs:

• magnetically neutral
• not electrically conductive
• secondary weight reduciton effects
• direction of reaction force variable –> side load compensation feasible
• adjustable spring characteristics (declining to progressive)

With the concept of the DANTO spring that we developed, we are already well-known and successful far beyond the automotive industry.

Various exciting projects gave us the opportunity to deepen our knowledge and finally to establish ourselves as specialists in the field of FRP springs.

Innovation

Breaking new ground, finding sustainable solutions

Innovation is an attitude that is reflected in all our solutions and products. The example of the DANTO spring clearly shows what is meant by material-specific design and innovation.

The way to the goal is not the substitution of the proven original products, but a solution adapted to the material and the requirement, which in many cases, compared to the original solution, includes additional functions. These functional integrations enable us to further increase customer benefits through secondary lightweight construction effects.

More advantages of FRP springs:

• improvement of dynamic properties by reduction of unsprung mass
• simple manufacturing and mounting regarding serial production
• einfache Montage bei Serieneinsatz
• excellent failsafe running functions
• adjustable spring characteristics (declining to progressive)
