BUSINESS INFORMATION
With outstanding development and technical capabilities, HAYAMIZU’s spiral springs quietly support part of our daily lives.
Although mainly considered analog, spiral springs actually concentrate highly advanced and scientific technology.
Today, we are manufacturing more than 30 million spiral springs per year. We have also expanded our business overseas, and now we have over 600 different products.
Our greatest strength is that we are able to build completely new spring manufacturing machines by ourselves and from scratch.
We have also developed proprietary measuring equipment to measure the strength of products and systems to find defective products.
Developing our own simulator, using mechanics and materials engineering, made it possible to design products with higher accuracy.
PRODUCTS
Spiral springs for automobile seatbelt retractors
Spiral springs for automobile seatbelt retractors are used as a vital safety parts, therefore they demand the highest quality standards (high precision and durability).
On the other hand, it is important that seatbelts fit comfortably, so they needed to have a flat torque characteristic and appropriate pressure. Therefore, by using our in-house developed production machines we can process thin material and increase its strength.
Spiral springs for automobile seatbelt retractors are our main product. We are proud to say that we hold the top market share in Japan.
PRODUCTS
Force Balancers
They are used for reducing the operating force of heavy objects.

PROCESS
01
Slitting Process
Slitting wide material into specified width with cutter and liner.
02
Rounding edge Process
Removing burrs from the edges that were generated in the slitting process.
03
Segmentation Process
Cutting rounded-edged material to specified length and annealing both ends.
04
Winding Process
This is the process of winding the primary winding shape using a dedicated processing shaft and then assembling the spring into a case, ling or a wire.
05
Inspection and Packing Processes
Visual Inspection and Packing
In-house developed Machines
We are automating every equipment, so that we are able to manufacture large quantities stably.
