Clifford Springs Highlights Canted Coil Springs

An Alternative to Compression Springs in Valves and Seals

As a leading innovator in the field of spring technology, Clifford Springs is working hard to ensure that engineers know more about the exceptional performance of Canted coil springs as an alternative to traditional compression springs in the valve and actuator market.

Canted Coil

Whilst canted coil is not a new spring type, its application within the valve and actuator industry has not been widely recognised. Clifford Springs is keen to educate valve manufacturers on the remarkable benefits of incorporating canted coil springs into their designs.

Advantages of canted coil over compression springs

Consistent force: canted coil springs maintain a near-constant force across a wide deflection range, ensuring consistent performance and reducing the risk of seal or valve failure.
Longer service life: The unique geometry of canted coil springs reduces stress concentration points, leading to increased durability and a longer service life compared to compression springs.
Versatility: canted coil springs can function as both a mechanical and electrical connector, providing a multifunctional solution for various applications within the valve and actuator industry.
Innovation: Clifford Springs works with engineers to design canted coil springs to meet the specific requirements of individual applications, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility.
Size: Canted coil springs can be manufactured using a wire as small as 0.100mm so they’re even ideal where applications have limited space, such as in miniature valves and actuators.

So many benefits

By encouraging the use of canted coil springs, Clifford Springs aims to help valve manufacturers achieve higher performance, improved reliability, and cost savings. As a UK-based manufacturer, with a long history of spring-making and unparalleled technical expertise, Clifford Springs is committed to being the industry’s first stop for spring innovation.
