Constant Supports

Constant Spring Supports and Hangers

Constant springs are used to support piping whose movements and/or loading conditions cause too great a variability or too high of a loading condition for a variable spring. The geometric design of the constant support provides a mathematically constant amount of force exerted throughout the entire range of travel. The force is made constant by a counterbalancing spring assembly.

Description

  • High load and travel capabilities
  • Each hanger is calibrated independently to the client’s specific load prior to shipment
  • Load is adjustable +/- 10% from the “as shipped” load
  • Spring covers which prevent foreign objects from restricing the action of the coil spring & provide a clean, functional appearance
  • Stainless steel shafts to ensure each unit will not seize due to corrosion
  • Upper and lower limit built-in travel stops that restrict travel and prevent damage to the supports

 

Support Types

  • Horizontal
  • Upthrust
  • Vertical
