Uses of Garter Springs

Garter Springs, also known as retaining or circular springs, are a specific type of coiled spring that forms a continuous loop. They are typically made from a strip of material wound into a tightly coiled shape with the ends connected, creating a ring-like structure. Garter springs have specific uses and are commonly found in the following applications:

  1. Shaft Sealing: Garter springs are widely used in shaft sealing applications. They are often used in conjunction with rotary shaft seals or lip seals. The garter spring applies radial force against the sealing lip, helping to maintain contact with the rotating shaft and prevent leakage of fluids or contaminants.

  2. Belt Tensioning: Garter springs are utilized in belt tensioning systems. They are commonly found in applications such as automotive engines, industrial machinery, and power transmission systems. Garter springs provide tension to ensure proper belt engagement, preventing slippage and maintaining optimal power transmission efficiency.

  3. Hose Clamps: Garter springs are employed in hose clamp assemblies. They are used to provide the necessary clamping force to secure hoses onto fittings or connections. The garter spring maintains a constant pressure on the hose, preventing leaks and maintaining a tight seal.

  4. Retaining Rings: Garter springs can be used as retaining rings or snap rings. They are used to hold components or assemblies in place, such as bearings, gears, or pulleys. The garter spring's continuous loop design allows for easy installation and removal, making it a convenient solution for retaining various components.

  5. Electrical Contacts: Garter springs find application in electrical connectors and contacts. They are used to provide tension or pressure on electrical terminals, ensuring reliable and consistent electrical connections. Garter springs help maintain contact pressure, preventing intermittent connections or disruptions.

  6. Surgical Instruments: Garter springs are utilized in certain surgical instruments and medical devices. They can be found in instruments such as forceps, clamps, and retractors. Garter springs assist with controlled opening and closing actions, providing a secure grip or facilitating the retraction of tissue during surgical procedures.

It's worth noting that Garter Springs are often designed and manufactured for specific applications and may have variations in their construction, material, and dimensions depending on the requirements of the application.
