What Are Garter Springs?
A garter spring is a type of helical spring that is created by forming a circle using connecting ends, providing a strong, radial and clamping force. They can also be created from compression springs, exerting an outward radial force or from extension springs, exerting an inward radial force.
Garter springs are commonly used to reinforce a rubber seal around pipe joints or a rotating shaft.
Since one of their most common uses is to secure seals around oil pipes, they are also known as oil springs.
Garter Spring Uses And Applications
With these sorts of pipes carrying liquid, the garter spring ensures that the seal remains secure and tight regardless of changes in size due to the liquid’s pressure or temperature.
You can also typically find them in motor drive belts, conveyor systems, hydraulic pump seals, washing machine seals and off-road wheel seals. They are surprisingly useful as the seal prevents leaks or contamination from water, dust, lubricants and chemicals as they can withstand forces coming from all directions. They’re also great at handling environmental changes, such as pressure and temperature
