Canted Coil Spring

Quick specifications Parameter Value Wire diameter(A) 0.10 mm Major (C) 1.0 mm Minor (Compression axis) (B) 1.2 mm Typical materials 301/304/316 SS, 17-7PH, Elgiloy®, Inconel® (custom on request) Typical applications Seal energizers, EMI gaskets, precision connectors, vacuum/cryogenic seals Tolerances ±0.02 mm (typical, confirm per drawing) What makes this 0.10 mm canted coil spring special? This particular geometry (0.10×1.0×1.2 mm) is optimized for applications where space is limited but a reliable sealing or contact force is still required. Key advantages include: High fatigue life: small wire diameter combined with precision heat treatment produces excellent cyclic performance when properly mounted and paired......

Introduction: Core Value and Material Selection Key for Canted Coil Springs Canted coil springs (canted-coil spiral springs), as the core component of sealing energizers, have material choices that directly affect sealing performance, service life, and suitability for operating conditions. Beryllium copper (BeCu) and stainless steel (such as 304, 316, 17-7PH) are two mainstream materials, but they differ significantly in mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and cost. This article analyzes the pros and cons of both materials from three dimensions — material characteristics, performance comparison, and applicable scenarios — to help engineers make precise selections. 1. Beryllium Copper Canted Coil Springs: The......
