Leaf springs have been used for many years in a wide range of industrial and technical solutions. They are strong, reliable, and ideal for applications where forces need to be evenly distributed. At Roveron, we supply leaf springs from stock as well as fully custom-made solutions, tailored to your specific application.
A leaf spring is a flat spring manufactured from spring steel strip and bent into the desired shape. Thanks to this design, the spring can absorb axial forces and deflect in a controlled manner. Leaf springs are widely used for shock absorption, load distribution, and positioning.
When designing a leaf spring, it is important to take several factors into account, such as load, dimensions, and the environment in which the spring will be used. An incorrect choice can lead to reduced performance or premature wear. Below, we discuss the most important criteria:
The thickness, width, and length of a leaf spring determine its deflection and spring force. Make sure the specifications match your application. Pay close attention to:
Exposure to extreme temperatures, moisture, dirt, or chemicals can affect the performance of a spring. Choose a material and finish that can withstand these conditions. For specific environments, such as marine applications or those involving aggressive chemicals, special coatings or alloys are recommended.
Quality and reliability are top priorities at Roveron. Our leaf springs are manufactured from the finest materials and undergo strict quality controls to ensure optimal performance.
Commonly used materials include:

The operating temperature of leaf springs and wave springs depends on the material type. Thanks to the wide range of available materials, we can supply leaf springs and wave springs that retain their spring properties from -200°C up to well above +1000°C. For operating temperature details per material, please refer to the materials page.
Standard leaf springs are not always the best choice for every application. That is why Roveron offers custom solutions, precisely tailored to your specifications. Do you have specific requirements regarding strength, flexibility, or corrosion resistance? Our specialists are happy to assist you in designing a leaf spring that perfectly meets your needs.
Looking for a compact solution with high spring force? Be sure to take a look at our wave springs as well.
We have an in-house fiber laser that allows us to produce small series quickly and accurately, whether as samples or for low-volume requirements. At the same time, we are also a highly suitable partner for large-scale production. For larger series, we operate fully automated machines with the appropriate tooling, capable of running 24 hours a day. Whether you need small or large quantities, you are at the right place with us.
The function of the leaf spring determines the required specifications. Carefully consider the intended use, as a spring used in a heavy truck requires a very different design than one used in a lightweight precision instrument.
Do you need a specific leaf spring, or would you like more information or a quotation? Feel free to contact us, we are happy to help.
At Roveron, we combine technical expertise with practical experience. We not only help you select the right leaf spring, but also assist with calculating forces, deflection, and service life. This helps prevent overengineering, premature wear, or unexpected failure.
Whether it concerns a single prototype or serial production, we think along with you from the design phase and deliver industrial springs that perform reliably under the correct load. Personal advice, high-quality materials, no unexpected costs, and a solution that fits your application — that’s how we do it at Roveron.
Leaf springs offer a high load capacity, durability, and an even distribution of forces. They are also robust and require less maintenance than some other spring types, such as coil springs.
A leaf spring is a flat, curved spring designed for heavy loads and larger deflection ranges, for example in vehicles and industrial machinery. They distribute forces evenly and are highly robust.
A wave spring is more compact and delivers spring force within a limited installation space. This makes them ideal for applications where space or weight is a critical factor.
In short: leaf springs are suitable for high loads, while wave springs are used when compact dimensions and precision are important.
A defective leaf spring can cause instability, misalignment, or reduced load distribution. In many applications, immediate replacement is necessary to prevent damage and safety risks.
Yes, Roveron offers custom-made leaf springs. This means you can specify the dimensions, strength, and material selection to ensure the spring perfectly matches your application. Our specialists are happy to provide expert advice and help you find the right solution.
