- Precompression. Precompressing the spring into the hanger casing provides the following advantages :
- Saves up to 50% in headroom by reducing the length of the hanger.
- Reduces the installed height of the overall hanger assembly.
- Prevents the spring supporting force from exceeding the normal safe limits of variations.
- Saves valuable erection time because spring is precompressed close to 1 ⁄2″ of the working range.
- Calibration : All Variable Spring Hangers and supports are calibrated for accurate loading conditions.
- Load indicator is clearly seen in the slot, simplifying reading of the scale plate. Load is read from bottom of indicator.
- Cold set at the factory upon request.
- Spring and casing are fabricated of steel and are rugged and compact.
- Piston cap serves as a centering device or guide maintaining spring alignment.
- Casing protects the spring from damage and weather conditions.
- Standard Finish : Painted with semi-gloss primer. (Also Corrosion Resistant Finish is available)
