Our LeeP™ plastic composite compression springs combine the strength of metal with the special attributes of high performance engineered thermoplastics.
Manufactured in Ultem* PEI (polyetherimide) resin, following years of engineering design and materials research by the company’s technical team, different formulations are designed to meet or exceed performance criteria.
Benefits
LeeP™ composite springs offer many advantages including:
- Unique patent pending designs that maximise spring rates and cycle life, while minimising solid height
- High strength to weight ratios that optimise performance while reducing mass
- Excellent stability of physical and mechanical properties at elevated temperatures up to 170°C (340°F)
- High corrosion resistance and compatibility with many chemicals including strong acids, weak bases, aromatics, and ketones
- Non-magnetic. Does not interfere with imaging and other ferro-sensitive technologies
- Dielectric insulation. Suitable for non-conductive applications
- Inert, non-contaminating material protects product purity
- Low flammability and toxicity ensure environmental safety
- Recyclable and compliant with most global regulations including RoHS and REACH
Available in a choice of standard sizes and six colour coded strengths: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet, the strongest.
Custom designs to meet precise performance requirements are available. Just ask.
Applications
LeeP™ springs are designed to meet a broad spectrum of applications where non-corroding, non-metallic, inert materials are preferred:
