Leaf Springs

Leaf Springs are manufactured from either a glass or carbon fibre composite. They have high dynamic strength and excellent resistance to corrosion and fatigue. Leaf springs also offer superb mechanical strength and are considerably more resilient compared with standard steel springs. They are commonly used on vibratory feed conveyors for metering, weighing and packaging applications within the food industry. We offer leaf springs in a variety of grades shown below, all of which can be machined to customer specific requirements.

Applications

Screening, paper processing, conveyor machines, dosing plants, feeding devices, driving mechanisms.

Key Features

Excellent corrosion resistance.
Good impact resistance.
Good fatigue strength.
Electrical insulation properties.

Leaf Springs - Grades HFX & HCF

HFX Leaf Springs combine unidirectional glass fibres with a dark green epoxy resin that offers high flexural strength and stiffness.

HCF Leaf Springs are manufactured from aerospace grade unidirectional carbon fibres combined with a dark epoxy resin. This material is commonly used on more demanding and high performance machinery.

Leaf Springs - Grade SYD

SYD Leaf Springs have a strictly parallel-oriented, non-interlaced glass fibre structure. The fibres are neither pre-stretched nor bent and epoxy resin compounds are used as binding agents. The special balanced composition ensures high adhesion to the glass fibre surface, resulting in optimum dynamic and electrical properties. The mechanical properties can also be adapted to meet specific requirements by adjusting the orientation of layers during the manufacturing process.
