Two standard references and a fully configurable platform for precision mechanisms.
Synton designs and manufactures the complete functional assembly in Switzerland: precision turned body, compression spring and shaped sapphire jewel. In-house control of design, components, assembly and inspection allows every parameter to be matched to the customer mechanism.
Our two standard references form a base. Other products are developed from the customer mechanism, loads, environment and assembly process.
- Low friction
- Dimensional stability
- Wear resistance
- Repeatability
Configurable options
| Mechanical architecture | Plain, threaded, flanged or dedicated body |
|---|---|
| Functional jewel | Synthetic sapphire or ruby, shape and finish matched to the contact function |
| Interface and envelope | Diameters, lengths, threads, shoulders and stops to drawing |
| Spring behaviour | Preload, rate, working travel, maximum force and hysteresis |
| Body material and finish | Alloy and protection selected for environment, friction and integration |
| Inspection | Critical tolerances, visual and dimensional inspection, force-travel testing |
| Packaging and traceability | Protective packaging, lot identification and quality documentation as required |
