Medical devices getting smaller by the day

Bantam™ mini compression springs are a unique line of miniature springs available in wire diameters of .0040", 0.0045", 0.0040" and 0.0055" with external diameters of 0.0025", 0.040" and 0.057". Available in a range of lengths from 0.005" to 0.0625". In order to maximise the performance of a diverse range of applications, notably for the Medical industry, Lee Spring chose 'Elgiloy' as the alloy most suitable for these springs. Egiloy is a Nickel-Cobalt alloy known for its durability. It is 10% stronger than type 316 Stainless steel. It demonstrates a greater resistance to corrosive environments including lactic acid, ammonium chloride, citric acid, sodium chloride and sodium sulphate. This material performs well in temperatures up to 850°F and is non magnetic. Bantam mini compression springs are used in many applications in diverse industries such as: Medical Devices Pharmaceutical delivery devices Petro-chemical processes Aerospace Marine industry Security and locking devices Firearms Electronic and illuminations controls Communication devices Precision instruments Automotive For more information, see www.leespring.co.uk See Lee Spring on stand 1413 at Medtec UK, NEC, 23-24 May
