Lite Pressure™ Compression Springs are ideal when a relatively low spring rate or workable load is needed in dimensions not normally available in conventional compression spring rate and size combinations. The term "Lite Pressure" refers to the design performance of these springs, generally used where relatively low forces are required for a given diameter. Pressure is described as a force which is exerted over a surface area. In regards to compression springs, the pressure exerted as the result of a specific deflection can be more technically described as force over a flat surface with a circular perimeter (the Nominal Hole in which the spring is being used). The term "Lite Pressure™" is used to describe a series of springs designed to be utilized where relatively low forces are required for a given diameter. The pressure rating assigned to each item of the Lite Pressure™ series is a selection parameter to assist in meeting qualitative requirements or quantitative requirements. Each series is offered in increments within ranges from 1 to 5 psi, 1.5 to 5.5 psi or 5 to 15 psi pressure ratings. Lite Pressure™ Series Springs are ideal for many fluid power applications such as relief valves, check valves or pistons. Other applications could include motor brushes, contacts, displays, syringes, toys, dispensers and many more.
