    custom barrel springs by katy spring

    garter springs are one of katy spring’s specialities

    Key Characteristics

    • Shape: Garter springs are essentially helical springs wound into a circular form, creating a closed loop. This shape allows them to apply pressure around the circumference of an object.

    • Material: Garter springs are typically made from high-tensile materials such as stainless steel, music wire, or other durable alloys, ensuring longevity and resistance to environmental factors like corrosion and temperature changes.

    Types

    • Extension Garter Springs: These exert an inward radial force, commonly used for holding components together.

    • Compression Garter Springs: These exert an outward radial force, used for expanding or maintaining separation between components.

    Ordering Custom Garter Springs

    • For customers that prefer to assemble in house Katy Spring can provide unassembled straight lengths.
    • The basic information needed by Katy Spring is material, wire size, free length, number of coils, travel, diameter, end types, finish, works over, works in, and maximum solid height.
    • It is crucial to carefully consider the space allotted to ensure that the spring will function properly and avoid costly design changes.
    • Katy Spring can assist customers in determining design parameters if only partial data is available.
    • Specify a force with a tolerance (+/- 10 percent) at an exact compressed height rather than a definite deflection. Spring rate is the difference of two forces divided by the amount of deflection between those forces.
    • Make Katy Spring aware of unusual conditions such as temperature, corrosive environments, impact force, and fatigue life.
    • Specify the mandatory requirements only to Katy Spring, and leave the exact wire size and number of coils to the discretion of Katy Spring whenever possible.

    Bellow Spring

    A bellow spring is a type of mechanical device designed to absorb, store, and release energy through the use of flexible, accordion-like structures known as bellows. These springs combine the properties of a bellow and a spring to provide a versatile solution for various applications requiring movement, flexibility, and pressure control.

    popular product
    Barrel Springs

    A barrel spring is a specific type of compression spring that features a bulging middle and tapered ends. Its unique shape can be visualized as a barrel, hence the name.

    popular product
    Tubing Forms

    A tubing form is a type of helical spring made from coiled tubing, rather than solid wire. This design provides a combination of flexibility, strength, and the ability to handle internal media flow. Tubing forms are used in applications where traditional solid wire springs would not be sufficient due to the need for internal passageways or additional flexibility.
