Lee Spring will focus on presenting several key products and their applications plus a new custom spring design service.
More power to space ratio
Offering more power to space ratio are REDUX™ wave springs that perform a similar function to compression springs but take up to approximately 50% less compressed height space. Their sine wave design allows tangential contact and offers offer greater control of axial movement and consistent load transfer. Produced in stainless steel type 17-7 PH REDUX™ wave springs are best used in static or slightly dynamic applications where space is critical or where radial and axial tolerances are tight. Custom designs can also be produced.
Feel the force
Constant force springs from Lee Spring are manufactured from high yield 301 stainless steel strip and exert a near constant restraining force to resist uncoiling. Their natural inbuilt stress resists loads at an even rate and makes them suitable for use in retractor mechanisms. Common applications include counterbalance springs, car seat belt and cable retractors. Constant force springs are usually tightly coiled on a drum and either the free end or the drum can be attached to the load. Lee Spring offers four life cycle ranges and custom designs can be produced.
