Polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) Compression Springs conform to the following Standards/Norms:
Polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) Compression Springs, available in sizes ranging from Inner Diameter (ID) of 1mm to 20.5mm, Outer Diameter (OD) of 2mm to 25mm, and Free Lengths of 8mm to 50mm, are made from Polyphenylsulfone, a high-performance thermoplastic known for its exceptional toughness, thermal stability, and chemical resistance. PPSU provides excellent impact strength, high resistance to sterilisation processes, and good hydrolytic stability, making these compression springs ideal for applications requiring durability and reliable performance in demanding environments.
Sizes (see full table below) :
Inner Diameter (mm) - 1 to 20.5mm
Outer Diameter (mm) - 2 to 25mm
Free Length (mm) - 8 to 50mm
