CASE STUDY: GORDON COMPOSITES™ VIBRATORY CONVEYOR SPRINGS Challe nge Accepted. Flat springs are critical components in the vibratory conveyor system. With a high-heat flat spring option, manufacturers can potentially reduce overall conveyor system costs compared to higher priced coil spring systems.

Bringing you one of the most comprehensive spring portfolios in the industry. Traditional steel coil and elastomeric springs have a few shortcomings. Heavy steel springs can corrode and lose performance after multiple fatigue cycles.

Thermoset Composite Springs For Indoor and Outdoor Furniture APPLICATION BULLETIN Bringing you one of the most comprehensive spring portfolios in the industry. Metal springs have a few shortcomings. Make the switch to Avient’s thermoset composite springs, made with our proprietary resin/fiber reinforcement technologies, to gain value in a variety of furniture spring applications: • Superior overall performance • Long term corrosion resistance • High fatigue strength • Deep deflection • Excellent inter-laminar shear strength • Creep resistance • Minimal work hardening • Consistent, repeatable cycles for a lifetime of use With extensive experience in composite spring technology, a wide range of rectangular sizes, and rapid, customized product development capabilities, we can help you create durable, reliable and cost-effective furniture for indoor or outdoor use.

Spring rate adjustments: The spring rate or stiffness for each cross section (thickness x width) is adjustable via the free length of the spring (see illustration). Spring deflection limitations: The free movement or deflection of springs must be limited so that it does not overstress the composite. SPRING MOUNTING Keeper plates are necessary to evenly distribute the flexural stresses on the springs.

Provide a spring-loaded area if the inserted substrate is a metal or other non-compressible material. Due to the tolerance on metal and other non-compressible inserts, it is necessary to include Belleville disc springs (or high tension springs) in the design to prevent flashing of minimal thickness inserts or crushing of oversized inserts.
