V-Spring V-Spring is a very versatile spring used in many different applications. It is a great starting point for any spring energized seal and is widely used in oil and gas applications due to its large deflection range and availability in Elgiloy. Common application temperature ranges for this spring are -75 to 500 F [...]
O-rings have been used for many years to energize u-cup style seals with great success. Ever-increasing application demands in terms of pressure and temperature, however, have made o-ring energizers less practical than other (metal) type energizers. The primary problem with using o-rings in these HP-HT applications is the fact that the o-ring, over time, [...]
When it comes to advanced sealing technologies, it is commonly known that metal spring energizers offer solutions to some of today’s most complicated applications. Especially in the case of the Slant Coil spring, which has a flat curve shape that makes it ideal for applications such as high-speed rotary, friction limited, or difficult installations. [...]
In general terms, heat treating is the closely controlled process of heating and cooling a material to achieve improved mechanical properties. Heat treating in metals is about controlling the size of the grain structure which in turn improves properties such as toughness, shear strength and tensile strength. In the case of Maudlin springs this can mean [...]
Available in Cantilever Spring, Helical Spring, and Slant Coil Spring Linear Footage As linear footage - This is commonly referred to as "on a spool". If you have the capability to cut and weld your own spring this purchasing method can be very beneficial. Maudlin will supply [...]
For many sealing applications, particularly those with little to no pressure and/or very low temperatures, a secondary seal energizer may be required. For standard u-cup type seals, this is often an elastomeric o-ring. These o-rings do a good job of energizing the u-cup but they are limited in their application range. Certain o-rings are good [...]
The function of a spring in many systems is to introduce mechanical force through motion. This can be in an automobile suspension system, a spring return in a valve, or in the case of Maudlin Products, a spring energized seal. Most of the springs used in these systems have a linear relationship between force and [...]
Maudlin Products supplies various styles of spring energizers into an array of applications worldwide. Each spring has its advantages and disadvantages in a given application so deciding which system parameter is most important is the key to a good spring choice. For instance, if low friction is critical, a Slant Coil spring will be a [...]
