Clifford Springs Knows Their Springs

Springs are tiny, but vital components of valves, actuators and seals. 

Springs inside valves ensure they close securely, don’t leak and maintain a constant pressure.  An efficient valve can make all the difference in operational success, and the wrong kind of spring can have a detrimental effect on the efficiency of the valves.

Inside actuators they control mechanisms in various machinery.  Particularly important in automated systems, any malfunction could cause problems, so springs have to be of the highest quality.  

And energised seals, designed to prevent fluids from getting in or out, are completely reliant on springs to create a long lasting and reliable seal, minimising leaks and potential damages despite varying pressures.

Have you ever thought about the different springs you can use in your applications?  For example, traditionally, compression springs have been used in valves.  But what about Canted coil?  It has a number of additional benefits that come from its unique design, including superior load capacity (more efficient use of space), adaptability to both static and dynamic conditions, and exceptional durability.

Clifford Springs is proud to be one of just a handful of manufacturers of canted coil worldwide, so we understand these benefits more than most.

Each different type of spring has unique benefits, giving them different advantages and performance results, and we can manufacture the following for you:

• Canted Coil Springs: Exceptional resilience and unique constant-load capabilities. 
• Helical Springs: Versatile with very high forces and small deflection range. 
• Garter Springs: particularly well-suited to applications requiring dynamic movement or where radial sealing forces are necessary. 
• Full Contact Springs: Very high force density and excellent load-bearing capabilities.
• Meander Springs: A compact and efficient solution for sealing applications with limited space. 
• Anti-Extrusion Springs: Designed to prevent seal extrusion and ensure sealing integrity in extreme high-pressure environments. Multiple helical springs can be fitted to the outside diameter for the most extreme environments and applications.

If you want to work with a manufacturer who really knows their springs, come and talk to our technical team at Clifford Springs.  Talking to us about your operational and environmental factors such as pressure conditions, temperature fluctuations, corrosive elements, etc, means we can advise on the most appropriate spring type and even suggest material choices for even better performance.
