Innovative Spring Solutions for High Performance Valve Systems

Springs are essential components in valve systems across applications from high pressure environments to compact and sensitive systems.  By absorbing shocks, maintaining sealing integrity, and controlling pressure, the right spring can significantly improve valve performance. 

At Clifford Springs we live and breathe springs.  As well as manufacturing standard springs, we use our experience and knowledge to innovate and collaborate, working closely with engineers and designers tailoring springs to specific requirements. 

Enhancing Valve Performance

Sealing and Leak Prevention
A primary function of springs in valves is to ensure proper sealing - preventing leaks and maintaining system integrity. In applications such as chemical processing and oil and gas, where high pressures and hazardous materials are common, sealing is crucial to prevent against contamination or safety hazards.

Precise Pressure Control
Springs also play a key role in regulating pressure within valves, so systems function within safe operating limits. The spring provides the necessary force to keep the valve closed under normal conditions, only opening when the system pressure exceeds a specific threshold. The right spring will precisely control the pressure, reducing valve wear and extending the overall lifespan of the system.

Space-Efficient Designs
In sectors such as motorsports and medical devices, where space is often limited, springs need to be reduced in size without impacting performance.   Tiny springs can be created from fine wire, whilst the flat shape of meander springs reduces the space requirement in compact valve assemblies.

Enhanced Durability and Resistance to Wear
Valves operating in harsh conditions, such as those in construction or agriculture, require springs that can withstand significant wear and tear while maintaining their performance. Choosing the right spring or spring material to suit heavy duty usage is vital in such instances.

Optimizing Valve Systems Across Industries

Incorporating specialised springs into valve systems enhances performance, reliability, and efficiency. By providing precise control, maintaining sealing integrity, and offering resistance to extreme conditions springs help to reduce downtime and extend the lifespan of equipment.

Each spring type we manufacture at Clifford Springs is designed to meet the unique demands of specific applications, ensuring that valve systems function optimally, regardless of the operating environment. Whether it’s ensuring leak-free seals, providing reliable pressure control, or enhancing durability, the right spring can make all the difference in the performance and safety of valve systems.
