Our team can work alongside you to create, refine, and optimize spring designs for specific tolerance and performance applications.
Precision Manufacturing: Our dedicated high-speed machines can quickly scale high-quality spring production processes to large part volumes typically required for energy production industries. Our cutting-edge computational equipment simulation and testing techniques, such as CNC compression self-monitoring and coiling machinery, enable us to manufacture parts to tight dimensional tolerances across many custom sizes and styles.
You can browse our selection of stock springs typically and filter by material and size to understand the customization options available for joint development projects.
Gas Springs in Renewable Energy Systems
Springs typically used in oil and gas industries are also found in renewable energy systems, facilitating reliable energy production from such equipment.
For example, wind turbines feature high-strength springs that provide the angular pitch control of the windmill blades to maximize energy capture and compensate for wind speed variations. Similarly, solar panels rely on similar springs to provide precision motion control to adjust the title and orientation of the panels and maximize sunlight capture over the day.
FAQs About Energy, Oil & Gas Springs
What types of springs are commonly used in the energy industry?
Oil and gas and energy production industries utilize all of the three most common helical coil spring types:
- Compression Springs are used in down-hole drilling equipment to absorb shocks and vibrations encountered during drilling. They are also found in safety-critical values and pressure regulators.
- Torsion Springs can be found in sealing systems. They can also be found within gas turbines to absorb the rotational motion of such equipment.
- Extension Springs may be used as safety devices on door mechanisms or other control surfaces because they can be configured to require a significant tension force to displace a door or surface.
What spring materials are best suited for the oil and gas industries?
When selecting springs for your equipment, you should consider your application's mechanical loads, corrosion resistance, and temperature requirements. Generally, materials used in components and mechanisms in the energy production industry are high-strength materials with excellent corrosion and temperature resistance.
For example, high-strength alloys such as chrome silicone are common for applications that experience high loads and/or deformations. Stainless steel material is used in applications with low to medium loads that still require corrosion resistance. Additionally, a Nickel-based alloy may be appropriate for use in applications that experience very high temperatures. Finally, if your spring must withstand high loads and temperatures and feature excellent corrosion resistance, consider a superalloy such as Elgiloy® or Hastelloy®.
