Garter Springs
Stock sizes in stainless steel
Garter springs are extension springs with the ends fastened together
to form a ring. They are primarily used to maintain controlled pressure
of a radial lip seal on a shaft and to compensate for lip wear, changes
in volume or stiffness of the elastomer caused by the fluid, and the
effect of temperature changes and time. Other uses include small motor
belts and electrical connectors.
Associated Spring Raymond garter springs are engineered and manufacturer to
provide a consistent and reliable product. They feature high initial tension
to provide constant load and a special tapered end to assure a strong connection
and a continuous near uniform body diameter.
