What are Variable Pitch Springs ?
Variable pitch springs are compression springs designed with uneven coil spacing, which allows the spring rate to change progressively under load. This unique design provides multiple stages of stiffness in a single spring, replacing the need for separate components.
At Hootai, with over 40 years of spring manufacturing experience, we specialize in producing custom variable pitch springs that deliver precise performance, extended durability, and adaptability across industries.
- Key Features
-
Progressive Spring Rate: Provides softer response at the beginning and increased stiffness as load increases.
-
Anti-Surge Performance: Helps suppress spring resonance, ideal for high-frequency applications.
-
Space Efficiency: Combines multiple spring rates in one design, reducing assembly complexity.
-
Durability: Prevents premature coil bind and extends service life.
-
High Customization: Manufactured with advanced CNC forming machines for precise pitch variations.

FAQs About Variable Pitch Springs
Constant pitch springs have uniform coil spacing, while variable pitch springs feature varying spacing to provide progressive load response.
Yes. The progressive design allows them to adapt to different load ranges without premature coil binding.
Our CNC forming machines allow us to achieve tight tolerances tailored to your specific design requirements.
