Fuel Injector Springs

Force Technology designs fuel injector springs to achieve multi-billion cycles and more than 20,000 hours use in the most aggressive environments.

The Force Technology team has unrivalled experience in the design and manufacture of fuel injector springs. We have worked in partnership with the leading medium & heavy diesel fuel injector spring designers and original equipment manufacturers for over 30 years supplying injection springs for high speed rail engines and the world’s largest cruise liners.

We work closely with our customers to become a fully integrated extension of their fuel injector spring design team.

All the parts are manufactured on site at the factory in Blackpool in the north west of England and parts are delivered globally.

We use the world’s best materials including valve quality grades of silicon chrome alloys with the addition of vanadium, nickel and molybdenum for high tensile and ultra-high tensile. Valve grade materials are available in superclean, eddy current tested and shaved options.

We can supply delivery valve springs and control valve springs down to 0.25mm wire diameter and plunger springs up to 19.0mm wire diameter, whist offering injection nozzle springs with mean diameter to wire diameter indexes down to 2.7 to 1 in 14.0mm diameter high tensile Si Cr wire.

All parts are processed with very close attention to detail and to ensure the optimum in surface residual stress. All our injector springs are shot peening to the highest standards and we can offer hot-prestressing and nitriding for the ultimate in performance and high fatigue.

Most of our products go through customer validation and we are very familiar with the requirements of PPAP. We can also offer in-house fatigue testing to 10 million cycles for most applications.
