Torsion Springs
(250 companies)
Helically wound springs that deflect torque rotationally, torsion springs express mechanical energy through the property of elasticity: the spring action happens when it is twisted rather than compressed or pulled. Despite the name, torsion springs are subject to bending stress--not torsion--as the torque is carried through the length of the wound material.
Spring Pins
(105 companies)
Spring pins are hollow dowel pins manufactured from spring steel.
Die Springs
(56 companies)
Die springs are a robust type of helical compression springs consisting of rectangular wire. For the same value deflection, die springs carry 30% more load. These springs are designed to carry very high compression loads in hostile environments. Made mainly for punch press to provide consistent and reliable resistance, die springs also find use in other industries.
Compression Springs
(384 companies)
Compression springs are the most recognizable of spring and are intended to oppose compaction in the direction of the axis. The spring is extended at rest, shorten and store energy when a load is applied, and is one most efficient energy storage devices available. Traditionally, they are wound and uniform in pitch and diameter, but these traits vary considerably today.
Spring Winding Services
(262 companies)
Spring winding services providers fabricate springs to specifications supplied by their customers, often providing design assistance.
Spring Washers
(157 companies)
Spring washers, sometimes called disc springs, lend their mechanical capabilities to the unique profile of the material: the irregularities of the washer compress with a proportionate resistance to return to their predeflected shape. Spring washers are employed in applications where assemblies need a part to take up play, maintain assembly tension, compensate for expansion or contraction in materials, or to absorb intermittent shock loads and provide a controlled reaction under dynamic loads.
Gas Pressure Regulators
(282 companies)
Gas pressure regulators reduce the pressure of a gas, as it passes through a cylinder or process line, to another piece of equipment. Regulators are not flow control devices. They are used to control delivery pressure only.
Constant Force Springs
(39 companies)
Constant force springs are a variety of extension spring. A strip of steel with a preset curvature is coiled tightly so that each turn of the strip rests on its inner neighbor. The spring is actuated in a pulling, liner motion with the deflection resistance originating from the material's stiffness and spring construction. Unlike other extension springs, a consistent degree of force is exerted despite the degree of deflection.
Spring Stops
(20 companies)
Spring stops, also referred to as spring stop buttons, are used for light workholding applications to hold a work piece to a locating surface prior to clamping.
Preload Springs, Spacers, and Washers
(92 companies)
Preload springs, spacers, and washers are meant to maintain tension in an assembly where some slack may be present. Their capabilities can eliminate rattle, compensate for expansion or contraction of the assembly materials, or absorb intermittent shock loads. These products are made of elastic deformable materials, most commonly convoluted ductile, high-strength metal alloys which come in machined, welded, and open-ring varieties.
Gas Flow Meters
(417 companies)
Gas flow meters are used for measuring the flow or quantity of a moving gas in an enclosed pipe or passage.
Gas Cylinders
(115 companies)
Gas cylinders are used to store gases under high pressures. They can store flammable gases such as acetylene and inert gases such as helium.
Gas Transmitters
(109 companies)
Gas transmitters consist of an enclosure, sensor, and electronics that convert a signal from a gas sensor into an analog output signal (typically 4-20 mA).
Welding Gases and Thermal Process Gases
(113 companies)
Welding gases and thermal process gases are specialized gases for welding, cutting or other thermal processing applications.
Gas Compressors and Gas Compressor Systems
(318 companies)
Gas compressors and gas compressor systems circulate gas through a process, enhance conditions for chemical reactions, provide inert gas for safety or control systems, recover and recompress process gas, and maintain correct pressure levels by either adding and removing gas or vapors from a process system.
