Helical Wound Spring Seal

The Helical Wound Spring Seal (200 Series) is designed with a continuous circular helix geometry formed from rectangular metallic ribbon stock. These seals are available in cross-sections ranging from 1/16″ to 5/8″, with custom options for smaller precision applications.

Key Features & Performance

Higher Load Per Inch Deflection

Generates substantially higher loads than Cantilever "U" & "V"- Shaped Springs
1/4" U-shaped spring: 10-12 lbs/inch vs Helical Wound: 24-32 lbs/inch

Primary Applications

Static & lower dynamic seal applications
Gas sealing and cryogenic applications

Cryogenic Sealing Capabilities

Low Temperature High spring load for extreme low temperatures
Reliable sealing in harsh environments

Limitations

Higher friction compared to other designs
Less suitable for extreme eccentric movement
