Springs are flexible elastic objects used to store and release mechanical energy. Commercial and industrial applications take that concept to the extreme with demanding requirements for consistent resistance and recovery over millions of cycles. G-Flex™ high-performance composite springs have proven their ability to meet those challenging requirements for controlled spring rates in finely tuned mechanical systems.

Important benefits of composite springs include durability and fatigue resistance. Composites can be tailored to achieve specific performance requirements through fiber direction and placement. Compared to metal, composites springs are:
• Light weight
• Fatigue resistant
• Corrosion resistant
• Capable of deep deflection
• Engineered to perform through materials selection
  and configuration

Gordon Composites makes today’s most advanced composite springs for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications. Gordon Composites designs, engineers and manufactures all G-Flex™ springs. The springs are made in-house and Gordon has the ability to machine composites post-cure to meet specific performance requirements.

G-Flex™ high-performance springs from Gordon Composites are:
• Engineered from start to finish (no prepregs)
• Made with a proprietary pull-forming process using one
  of the world’s largest glass fiber creels and incorporating
  more than 25 years of experience

G-Flex™ high-performance composite springs are available in three popular formats:
• Pull-formed billets providing consistent resistance over
  many cycles with low unit cost

• Multi-layer laminates that have a preferred surface
  finish and provide improved cycle life

• Stress-contoured laminates with a patented geometry
  that combines flexibility with extra strength at connecting
  points to further increase cycle life
