Flexible Couplings & Spring-loaded

During assembly line testing of engines, a solution was needed to reduce the high scrap rate encountered from permanent distortion of manifold flanges. CSS designed and produced a low cost, disposable seal, which was easily located and mounted in the existing assembly between the two mating flanges. Manufactured from 304 stainless steel and flexible graphite, the necesary clamping torque was reduced by 50% eliminating all distortion to the flanges.
