The friction load generated by the sealing element is the radial load of the selected Canted Coil Springs, and the pressure load of the system is the direct result of the friction coefficient of the selected material.
Therefore, canted coil springs can be customized to meet the special low friction requirements in dynamic applications. High temperature or low temperature sealing applications may require extremely high loads to be applied to the sealing coil springs. They can compensate for the thermal shrinkage of the sealing outer ring, thereby achieving a tight seal.
The medium, operating conditions, and temperature range of them are wide, and spring materials are also available in various types, such as 300 stainless steel series (SS) 301302304 and 316.A typical spring design in canted coil springs:Cantilever spring、Coil spring、Spiral spring、Continuous contact spring.
In conclusion, canted coil springs play a vital role in precision instruments, ensuring that they remain accurate and reliable. They provide constant force, absorb shock and vibration, and provide resistance to movement. Without them, precision instruments would not be able to maintain the high level of accuracy that is crucial for scientific and industrial applications.
