When additional help is necessary, our global engineering team, backed by more than 135 years of spring design expertise, is ready to help problem-solve any situation and design a unique solution to meet medical equipment and device manufacturers' needs.

Coiled Springs

Medical equipment

With the largest selection of catalogue springs for medical equipment to choose from, ASRaymond offers medical device manufacturers options to find the right part to improve their device's performance.

SPEC® Compression, Extension, Conical and Torsion springs are pre-engineered coiled products that come in a variety of cross-sections and forms. For areas where space may be limited but high-performance is necessary, Spring Washers are a reliable option. Their stacking capabilities make them ideal for tight spaces. Composite materials offer a solution where corrosion, vibration or magnetism prevent the use of metallic materials. SPEC® Composite Springs are compounded to provide optimum spring characteristics for MRI and other x-ray machines.

Counterbalance Solutions

SPD™ and IGS™ Gas Springs (also referred to as Gas Struts) are engineered to deliver optimal medical industry performance. Gas Springs with locking capabilities allow medical furniture to be secured at a specific height, putting individual control in the medical professional's hands.

Dampers and Gas Springs in medical applications provide smooth control of lids and furniture. With ASRaymond's expanded line of SPD Standard Gas Springs, which have more than 12,000 pre-engineered springs, medical equipment manufacturers can find the right counterbalance solution for their products available in a varying degree of materials.

Where heavy-duty lifting is necessary, or where safety risks because of Gas Spring failure are not tolerable, Raymond® Mechanical Struts provide security. They are a low-maintenance, seal-less, gas-less and oil-less solution for counterbalance applications, with locking capabilities when paired with a universal stop tube. Available in standard, traction and self-centring models, Mechanical Struts offers a variety of assistance to any medical facility and device with more longevity compared to standard Gas Springs.

Mechanical Struts and Gas Springs for medical devices are commonly used to counterbalance access panels in lab equipment such as autoclaves, sterilisers, analysers and other meter and diagnostic equipment.
