PRODUCT SELECTION & INSTALLATION GUIDE
COMPOSITE
SPRINGS
VIBRATORY CONVEYORS
AND SEATING
FEATURE BENEFIT
• Exceptional fatigue resistance
• Corrosion resistance
• Creep resistance
Fewer failures for longer spring life, less frequent
replacement, and a more reliable end product
• High strength-to-weight ratio—less than half
the weight of steel
• High spring rate and deep deflection
• Custom designs to support off-axis loads
Stronger springs can mean fewer are needed
in an application for overall cost savings
• Common sizes in inventory
• Custom design and finishing capabilities
Fast, dependable service, ready-to-install product
and customization options to boost your
manufacturing efficiency
