High pressure – small package 11 June 2020

Certain mechanisms call for a big power to diameter ratio, such as small devices requiring firm, but not rigid, slender springs. For this purpose, Lee Spring has designed its ex-stock range of high pressure springs to save space and to enable compact product design.

By combining an unusual selection of performance characteristics which specifically suit small applications with high loading requirements, these low index, high pressure compression springs are carefully designed to work in small holes. They are packed in a range of free lengths, with options of high load capacities rated to pressures of 300, 400, 500 and 600 psi for easy reference.

Lee Spring produces its high pressure compression springs from passivated and shot peened stainless steel, which provides a balance of corrosion resistance, high strength, and toughness.
