The 17-7 PH stainless steel springs benefit from a shotpeening and passivation process, which hardens the wire and raises tensile strength as well as cycle life. This process results in extended spring life, which reduces maintenance time required for bag changeout.

Conical Springs

GE's non-linear conical spring allows the fabric enough movement to clean down, yet controls bag collapse. Unlike a linear spring, which compresses equal amounts for equal pounds of load applied to it, the conical spring becomes harder to compress as heavier loads are applied. In this manner it acts as a shock absorber, preventing the fabric from total collapse while it is under the reverse air cycle, and also reduces any "popping" effect on the bags when they return to service.

Non-linear conical spring is used in the following tensioning assemblies:

• I-Bolt and Double Draw Bar Assembly and Pre-Loaded Rod and Drawbar Assembly
• BHA Tensionor® Suspension System

Other tensioning systems, tools, and accessories

• TRAP Control System
• AC Tensioning Tool®
• Bag hanging assemblies
