The Helical Spring Seal is a continuous wound energizer designed to exert consistent radial or axial load within polymeric or metallic sealing jackets. Its coiled geometry delivers uniform deflection characteristics, making it ideal for maintaining long-term sealing force in both static and dynamic environments.
Compared to Cantilever Spring or canted coil designs, helical spring energizers offer smoother load curves, improved stress distribution, and enhanced fatigue life. This makes them especially suitable for high-cycle, high-precision sealing systems in compact or extreme environments.
Reference the below to find dimensions for our standard Helical springs. Custom diameters, widths, and thicknesses can also be created. No additional tooling charges are required for special diameters or alternate material slit widths. Special material requirements for 17-7 PH Stainless are available and can be supplied in two weeks or less. The following Elgiloy strip thicknesses and widths are also in stock and available without minimums.
