The difference between metal retaining spring and spiral guard

There are two main types of protection springs available on the market: one is a traditional metal spring, which is processed by a professional machine by carbon spring steel wire or stainless steel spring wire, and then electroplated, using one end of the hose. The other is a spiral guard made of polypropylene, polyethylene and nylon as raw materials, which is made by hot-spinning and setting extrusion process. It is a new type of product that replaces the metal retaining spring for traditional hose protection. In use, a short length of hose can be wound from one end to the other, and a longer hose can be wound from the middle to the ends.

Although both protective springs can be used on the outside of mechanical hoses and tubing to extend the life of internal products, they differ in the following ways:

1.Appearance

The metal wire of the metal retaining spring is relatively thin and has a large gap, which does not protect the product well, and the wire will cause damage to the pipe during the friction process of the hose.

The spiral guard is available in various colors, and can be selected according to the occasion and the hobby. The inner side is a flat surface, the outer side is a flat surface, and some are curved surfaces, and are selected according to the use environment. Small gaps for good protection of internal products

2. Performance

The metal retaining spring is super elastic and has good tensile force, but this is also its shortcoming. The larger the stretch, the larger the gap, and the less the internal product is protected.

The spiral guard is made of modified plastic, which has good resistance to high and low temperature, oil, UV, antistatic, impact, abrasion, corrosion, acid and alkali, aging and other properties, and has good elasticity and stretching. Force, it has a significant protective effect on internal products such as hoses, and is easy to operate and easy to install.

3. Scope of use

The metal retaining spring is mainly used for mechanical hoses and oil pipes, and the spiral guard can also be used for various indoor and outdoor cables, which has good binding and antistatic effect on the cable, and can also be used as an air conditioning pipe protective cover. Gas station oil pipe protection cover, gas station gas pipe protection cover, car washing machine water pipe protection cover, etc.

In general, the spiral guard has the advantages of a metal retaining spring, which improves the shortage of the metal retaining spring. It will better protect the internal products and will play a role in more and more places.
