Overview

This ABB Installation Products safety spring, SKU SS8560, is constructed from durable zinc-plated/galvanized steel, offering robust protection and reliable performance in industrial settings. Measuring 3/4 inch in diameter and 8-1/4 inches in length, this spring is engineered for a substantial 40 lb working load limit (WLL), ensuring it can safely support and secure equipment under significant stress. The galvanized steel construction provides inherent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for environments where moisture or chemical exposure is a concern. This product is part of ABB's extensive range of installation components, designed for efficient and secure electrical installations. While specific applications are varied, safety springs of this nature are commonly employed to provide a secure connection, prevent accidental dislodgement, or absorb shock in various industrial machinery and equipment setups. The 3/4 inch diameter and 8-1/4 inch length are key dimensions for integration into specific mechanical assemblies. Refer to ABB's Installation Products catalog for detailed specifications and compatibility information across their product lines, including related items like the E994E (3/4" size, 250 std. ctn., 3 lbs std. wt.) and A253E (3/4" size, 100 std. ctn., 2.90 lbs std. wt.) which share the same 3/4 inch size designation but may differ in length or other specifications. Ensure proper selection based on required working load and physical dimensions for your specific application.
