Unlike conventional helical springs with circular cross-sections, canted coil springs all have oval cross-sections with different heights and widths (Figure 1). Varying the wire diameter (WD), width, and height of a canted coil spring changes the spring force. By design, we can target a specific canted coil spring for a holding/latching, or electric transmission/EMI shielding application.
A spring ring can be installed in a fitted groove to conduct electricity, energize plastic seals, control connecting force, provide bearing, or limit RF interference. A straight length of spring can also be utilized for similar purposes. Compressing the coil height of a canted coil spring generates a force curve with a flat region (Figure 2).
This force plateau is used to compensate for surface unevenness and tolerance variations in seals, maintain contact resistance in electrical contacts, and control engaging&disengaging force in the connectors.Canted coil springs are widely used in automotive, aeronautical and aerospace, green energy generation & storage, healthcare, Laser apparatus, lighting, military, power transmission & distribution, oil & gas, and transportation power industries.
