Lite Pressure Spring Series expanded

1 min read

Lee Spring, a global leader in stock and custom springs, has expanded its Lite Pressure stock compression spring series

The Lite Pressure compression spring series consists of compression springs that offer responsive action under light load conditions. The product line expansion adds more choice of springs with larger outside diameters and even lighter pressure springs, with new springs now available in 1 psi, 2 psi, 3 psi and 4 psi ranges.

The full series now includes springs in the 1 psi to 15 psi range with incremental choices in between for applications such as relief/check valves, pistons, motor brushes and contacts, displays, syringes, toys and dispensers.

The Lite Pressure compression spring series is ideal when a relatively low spring rate or workable load is needed in dimensions not normally available in a conventional compression spring. This makes the Lite Pressure series more responsive or sensitive to lighter loads than conventional compression springs. The springs are made of passivated and ultrasonically cleaned Stainless steel type 316 for excellent corrosion resistance.

“By expanding our stock range and having more selection in inventory, we are eliminating the need for a customer to wait on a custom-designed spring” states Lee Spring CEO Steve Kempf. “Having a product that can meet a very specific need in stock and available for shipment is a great advantage to an engineer or buyer who is trying to test or source a product."
