Thermoset Composite Springs For Vibratory Conveyor Equipment PRODUCT BULLETIN THICKNESS (in)* RESIN FLEXURAL STRENGTH (x10^3 psi) FLEXURAL MODULUS (x10^6 psi) STRAIN (%) FIBER CONTENT (wt%) MIN Vinyl Ester 115 4.0 3.3 68 AVG Vinyl Ester 124 4.6 3.2 71 MIN Epoxy 138 5.1 2.3 65 AVG Epoxy 153 5.5 2.3 67 Avient’s composite springs are manufactured using a continuous pultrusion process.
Resin impregnated, continuous glass fibers are drawn through a curing die of a specific cross section, yielding consistent quality, dimensions and mechanical properties to provide more consistent spring rates than alternate materials.
Reinforcement fiber configurations are designed to provide high flexural strength and modulus in the axial direction plus fastener bearing strength in the transverse direction. * Flexural properties are dependent on thickness.
