Top rail springs

Top rail springs, also known as continuous top rail springs, are specialised energiser springs designed for high load-bearing capacities around seals in extreme temperatures. Their unique structure ensures an even force around the sealing lip, minimising wear and extending longevity.

Materials

Top rail springs are made from advanced materials like stainless steel or specialised alloys that withstand extreme temperatures and pressures, providing great fatigue resistance and corrosion protection for enhanced durability.

Key Applications

Originally developed for the demanding conditions found in the gas and oil industries, these springs have demonstrated their versatility across various sectors. They perform exceptionally well in cryogenic applications and cold environments where traditional springs may not be effective. The durability of the continuous top rail spring makes it suitable for a range of critical applications, including:

  • Gas and Oil Exploitation: Functioning effectively under extreme pressure and temperature variations.​
  • Aerospace: Used in turbine engines, defence and rockets, where reliability is paramount.​
  • Industrial Equipment: Effective in machinery that operates under harsh conditions, ensuring continuous operation without compromising performance.​

Advantages of Continuous Top Rail Springs

Their key advantages include a high load capacity that supports significant weights without deformation, consistent performance that provides a uniform compressive force, and remarkable versatility that allows for adaptation in a wide range of temperatures.
