Spiral wound rings differ from constant and tapered section rings in their multi-turn, spiral structure, offering 360° contact in groove. This design enables them to handle high loads and absorb stress evenly, making them ideal for applications with significant axial loads and vibrations. Unlike single-turn rings, they don’t have an opening, which reduces the likelihood of deformation under pressure.
