Canted Coil Springs

Our canted coil springs ensure reliable electrical contact across high-, medium-, and low-current applications. They allow more power to be handled in less space at cooler operating temperatures, with each spring’s coils serving as multiple contact points for optimal conductivity or grounding. This means connections remain consistent and dependable even under shock and vibration.

Many design factors – including spring force, wire material, wire diameter, coil height, and plating thickness – contribute to a canted coil spring’s performance. Our engineering team fine-tunes these variables to optimize each spring for its intended use – not just for managing electrical power, but also for delivering mechanical retention thanks to its near-constant force, or for providing electromagnetic (EMI) shielding.

In purely mechanical roles, canted coil springs serve as robust fastening components. They latch and hold parts securely with near-constant force, unlike traditional fasteners, which fatigue and lose performance over thousands of cycles. These springs also energize high-performance seals, applying continuous radial pressure to keep them leak-tight even under extreme conditions, such as oil & gas drilling operations.
