Coil Springs - helical springs

Coil springs, often called helical springs, are mechanical devices.

There is a variety of coil springs however they all essentially store energy due to resilience and release it, to absorb impact or to maintain a force between contacting surfaces.

Types of Coil Spring

Compression: Compressed coil springs are crafted to resist compression. A typical compression coil spring can be seen in many car suspension systems.

Tension/extension: Tension/extension coil springs will often have a hook and eye form at either end for attachment, which is crafted to resist stretching.

Torsion: Torsion coil springs are used to resist any twisting actions, and can frequently be found in clothes pegs.

Following on from the torsion coil spring; the material of the spring will react in torsion when the spring is being extended or compressed. The spring's quality will be judged on the amount of energy it can absorb.

Coil springs at Clifford Springs

Choose Clifford Springs for seal energising products and springs!

We manufacture coil springs, otherwise named as helical springs and specialise in the manufacture of seal energising product with the highest standard CNC machines.

Below you can find a brief description of our coil springs:

Canted coil springs - Canted coil springs at single height are used for their exclusive load characteristics. They are generally crafted from customer supply samples along with drawings using carbon-based materials, Elgiloy, Hastelloy, and stainless steel.

Peak springs - These particular springs are used in high-performance seals that require an anti-extrusion device to replace a stainless steel or Inconel spring. Peak springs have a unique characteristic that means when the deal begins to wear and the spring eventually comes into contact with the shaft, the spring will not score the shaft.

Garter springs - Garter springs are manufactured in high and low volume for a variety of different markets that include the automotive industry to model makers who utilise the spring as a drive band. Our garter springs are able to be supplied with a straight shipment or assembled into the ring.

Helical seal springs - These springs are manufactured on advanced CNC spring coilers, and can be provided by the metre, alternatively on 50-metre and 100-metre spools.

Meander springs - Meander springs are specific to dynamic sealing applications and are carried in 301-grade stainless steel, along with availabilities in Hastelloy and Elgiloy.
