Springs for the most demanding applications

The diversity and range of products designed and made is impressive – from 0.1mm stainless steel gold plated section wire forms for use in microsurgery to substantial torsionally precise coil spring devices used in the defence industry – and the breadth of applications served and solutions provided is reported to be virtually limitless.

Automotive applications

Because of their reputation as a manufacturer of high quality springs and pressed parts Goss supply a large number of specialist car manufacturers and high performance car restorers such as the Maserati racing team with parts as diverse as springs used in the highly customised door handles of luxury cars to pressed part components used in engine and engine components.

Goss don’t just do low volume customised solutions – one of the more simple yet higher volume components supplied into the automotive industry is the coil spring to be found in the mounting arrangement of standard oil filters fitted to cars. 

Goss and PMT have supplied the medical industry for many years.  As you might imagine, applications in this industry often call for extremely small components used in the medical device.  Goss invested recently in one of the most sophisticated VMM machines with up to 200 x magnification in order to inspect incredibly small springs.  It goes without saying that Goss operate to defined medical standards and can offer certificates of conformity on request.
In the security industry PMT and Goss are well known for their extensive range of security, fire detection and safety products.  As always working closely with the customer to develop pressed and wire formed components including for example gold plated contacts assembled with injection moulded housings.

High volume springs for the electronics industry

Goss Springs has for many years been a leading manufacturer of miniature springs which serve as a key component in the actuation of electro-mechanical micro-switches. Often known as “snap action switches” a small tension spring will hold the micro-switch in its normally closed or open position until the switch is actuated. Burgess Microswitches, now part of the Johnson Electric Group, was for many years the leading brand of UK micro-switches and still today Goss is the key supplier of miniature springs to the Group.

If you look around the home and office there are hundreds of products that contain springs and wire shapes – plug sockets, light controls, temperature control, kitchen appliances to name but a few in another area of Goss/PMT expertise.
