U-Clips
U-clips are generally used to provide extra reinforcement. They can be easily placed over metal, plastic or wood providing a strong steady hold for vibration-free assembly. Our u clips are high-quality, ultra-functional pieces that are low cost, removable, reusable and generally made-to-order. Through our machinery, software and highly trained staff, we are able to manufacture complicated clips that meet your needs. Our staff will help you with your design, provide you with a quote and produce a final custom design for your approval.
Because of this, we have emerged as a leader in the spring clip manufacturing field based on customer satisfaction.
U clip fasteners and S clips can be bent out of any bendable alloy. The most common metal u-clips and s-clips are made from stainless steel and steel. But we can also produce these items in aluminum, stainless steel, brass, beryllium, high carbon steel, low carbon steel, nickel, and various bimetals.
Some industries that utilize our high-quality u-clips:
- Automotive
- Aerospace
- Appliance
- Hardware
- Marine
- Medical
- Military
- Electronics
Quality Is What Separates Us From the Rest
We customize orders for each customer, based on material, finish, size, shape and/or order quantity. We can produce both small and large volume orders. All parts are “Made in the USA.” Our u-clips are produced on two main types of machines, power presses, and fourslide machines.
Remember, our engineering assistance is available to maximize the effectiveness of your u-clips and s-clips. We use a spring design program that can select the optimal material, thickness, and temper for your application. And an added value, we provide customers with a spring force calculation and sample material force measurements to assist in determining the optimal solution for your needs.
