Energiser Springs

Energiser springs are typically used to address the load limitations of a polymer seal jacket. While polymers provide appropriate sealing, they often lack consistency in load distribution.

Use in Spring Energised Seals

A spring-energised seal works by being placed in a seal cavity where the spring and seal lips are compressed. This compression allows the lips to expand outward, increasing flexibility and providing reliable sealing even in motion.

Why use an Energiser Spring?

Energiser springs typically outperform other sealing solutions, such as static seals or O-rings, in applications where dynamic movement or pressure fluctuations are present.

The active compression provided by energiser springs maintains the sealing performance over time, reducing the risk of wear and the potential for leaks. Unlike static seals, which may lose their sealing capability due to changes in pressure or temperature, energiser springs adapt to these variations, ensuring a consistent seal.
