Canted Coil Spring Energized Rod Seal

Eclipse Canted Coil Spring Seals employ a specialty wound wire spring installed in a polymer jacket. The canted coil is unique in the sealing industry because of its semi-linear load curve. As an engineered loading device, canted coil springs display a very constant load over a large deflection range. This feature allows Canted Coil Spring Seals to operate in friction sensitive applications like HPLC, encoders and flap actuators with consistent performance. Seals used in battery operated devices utilize these seals – minimizing seal friction and optimizing battery life. On the other end of the spectrum, Canted Coil Spring Seals are used with heavy load springs for use in highly viscous media such as epoxies and urethanes. Eclipse maintains an extensive inventory of canted coil spring making it possible to tailor seal requirements to nearly any application.

STANDARD ORDERING EXAMPLE:

ECS-R-234-LW-ET006-M-S

ECS = Seal Series
R = Rod
234 = Dash Number
LW = Lip Style
ET006 = Seal Material Code
M = Spring Load L – Light M – Medium H – Heavy
S = Spring Material S – Stainless Steel E – Elgiloy® H – Hastelloy®

NON-STANDARD ORDERING EXAMPLE:

ECS-R-C-02953-LW-ET006-M-S

C

= Nominal Cross-Section


A = 1/16 in. (000 Series)

B = 3/32 in. (100 Series)

C = 1/8 in. (200 Series)

D = 3/16 in. (300 Series)

E = 1/4 in. (400 Series)

02953

= Rod Diameter in 1000ths
