Optimising Valve Performance with Precision-Engineered Energising Springs

In valve manufacturing, precision and reliability are non-negotiable. The smallest components, like energising springs, play a critical role in maintaining effective sealing, pressure regulation for long-term valve performance. 

At Clifford Springs, we understand the challenges valve manufacturers face, and our high-performance energising springs are made to meet the demands of even the most extreme operating conditions. 

Why the Right Energising Spring Matters

Energising springs are essential for ensuring seals remain effective under fluctuating pressures, temperatures, and chemical exposures.  Using the right spring not only extends the lifespan of the valve but also improves safety, prevents costly leaks, and enhances overall system efficiency. 

Not all springs are created equal, though. It’s important to consider every element from material selection, load consistency, and corrosion resistance to ensure optimal performance in a given application.  At Clifford Springs, our technical team are here for you.  We love to work closely with our clients to ensure that we can make the exact spring that’s right for the application. 

Material Selection: Built for Tough Conditions

Choosing the correct material for your springs is crucial, particularly in industries where valves are exposed to aggressive chemicals, extreme temperatures, or high-pressure environments. In addition to manufacturing from a range of stainless steels, we specialise in manufacturing energising springs from a range of high-performance materials, including: 

• Inconel® and Hastelloy® – Ideal for high-temperature and corrosive environments.
• Elgiloy®/Phynox® – A nickel-cobalt alloy offering excellent fatigue and corrosion resistance.

Recommendation / selection of these materials is based on the specific challenges being faced by our customers, and to ensure durability and reliability in demanding applications. 

Customised Solutions for Your Valves

We know that valve manufacturers require precision-engineered components tailored to their exact specifications.  Our collaborative approach allows us to manufacture energising springs that fit seamlessly into their valve systems. 

Whether you need canted coil springs for low-load applications, helical springs for high-pressure sealing, or garter springs for rotary seals, we have the expertise and manufacturing capability to deliver.
