Welcome to our International clients

Here's your opportunity to challenge popular belief, spitting image having a laugh at our expense.. There are some nice South Africans with a sense of humour but more importantly, who are competent, and who can add value to your business.

Serving the International export market

We have gained significant recognition since awareness grew of our superior design, manufacture and support for the larger Group 3 - reduced thickness disc springs, using contact flats. To convince you, and for information on the critical difference our design makes, please refer to Key design considerations with large disc springs, for a summary on the manufacture of our disc springs, please refer to the manufacture of mission critical disc springs.

Reliable Pressings exports various spring steel products, including conical disc springs to the UK, to cater for different applications and requirements. These are:

• Precision disc springs manufactured to DIN 2093 dimensions and quality standards, and designed to DIN 2992, used for critical loading or dynamic applications.
• DIN 6796 Belleville or load washers, which are conical disc springs used to secure bolted connections with high load demands.

Meeting our client needs

Reliable Pressings has been providing specialist industrial pressing solutions and products for over 35 years, primarily in South Africa and we now export to the UK (as well as the USA & Holland). There are various important reasons for this:

• We design and manufacture both standard and custom disc springs
• Our production is world class and our quality management system conforms to ISO9001:2015
• We care about safety and the conditions in which our people work, complying with ISO45001:2018 occupational health and safety standards
• We operate within the same time-zone as the UK and engaging with us is convenient, easy & hassle free
• Our UK clients can have a simple telephone conversation with clarity and no broken English and mis-communication
• We offer a large comparative pricing advantage
• We are reliable and guarantee delivery
• We manufacture disc springs that perform to design expectations, especially where larger Group 3 disc springs are concerned.

We have five lines of business:

• Bespoke Metal Pressing & Stamping - Stamping (also known as pressing) is the process of placing flat sheet metal in either blank or coil form into a stamping press where a tool and die surface forms the metal into a specific shape.
• Hydraulic Deep Draws - Deep drawing is the method of bending and moulding steel metal by pressing the material into the required form as hydraulic force is applied to the full tonnage over the entire length of the stroke.
• Non standard Speciality Washers - We have one of the largest washer die set inventories in Southern Africa, and supply non-standard specialist washers from all materials to most of the fastener and engineering support services businesses in SA.
• Spring Steel Applications - DIN EN 10132-4 Cold rolled narrow steel heat treatment (quenching & tempering) using high carbon content non-alloy steel grades.
• Die & Tool making and workshop services - Our tool and die makers are specialist machinists who make dies, and tools used in manufacturing processes. They support our metal pressing service lines.
