There are four main stages for the production of steel garter springs.

Extension garter springs are on the opposite side of the spring spectrum.

The second step is to join each end of the spring to form the garter spring's unique circular shape.

The segments are held in place by a series of profiled pressure plates and a garter spring.

Compression garter springs use this principle to withstand forces acting on it from outside.

Most garter springs are used for oil seals and shaft seals.

Although they are also a type of coiled spring, extension garter springs exert inward radial forces that move toward the center.

Since they are able to withstand forces from all directions, garter springs are effective at handling changes in volume, pressure, temperature, and viscosity.

Like most other springs, garter springs are typically manufactured with either carbon steel or stainless steel wire.

Carbon steel wire is typically used for garter springs due to its affordable price and usability, in comparison to stainless steel.

The close proximity to oil and high-pressure engines mean heat treated garter springs are essential for enduring temperatures over 100 C (212 F).

Extension garter springs act against forces from the center, so they may be placed on the outside of a circular object to maintain the object's circular shape.

The advent of modern elastomers replaced rawhide, industry also added a garter spring which helps the sealing lip compensate for lip wear and elastomer material changes.

Compression garter springs exert outward radial forces, while extension garter springs exert inward radial forces.

A garter spring is a coiled steel spring that is connected at each end to create a circular shape, and is used in oil seals, shaft seals, belt-driven motors, and electrical connectors.

Extension garter springs are more common than compression garter springs because they use less material (smaller circumference and thinner wire) and they respond to changes quicker and more efficiently.

As this happens, a garter spring in the isolation plug moves a steel shear pin into a groove on the sealing prong, and an 0-ring on the internal prong seals to isolate the tubing below the sliding sleeve.
