Materials and Surface Treatment
The spring is made from 97CrV6 derivative steel, shot-peened to reduce crack initiation, and phosphate-coated to resist corrosion from solvent-based coatings and abrasive particulates.
Design and Mechanical Performance
- Nominal load-deflection ensures stable pump stroke and seal longevity
- Uniform stress distribution along coils prevents permanent set
- Optimized coil pitch for predictable force-displacement characteristics
- Supports consistent output pressures even under thermal fluctuations
Applications
- Airless sprayer pumps for industrial and professional coatings
- Maintains consistent fluid flow and atomization quality
- Works with PTFE and fluorocarbon elastomer seals
- Compatible with high-pressure filtration systems
Installation and Maintenance
- Seat spring onto pump rod or plunger assembly aligned with guide pins or retaining clips
- Use light machine oil for initial lubrication to prevent galling
- Inspect free length and check for corrosion or deformation periodically
- Ensure flat ends make full contact with mating surfaces for consistent preload
