Greene Tweed Introduces its latest Canted Coil MSE® Sealing Solution for Aerospace Applications

Reduces power loss and improves precision movement without sacrificing leakage control or durability

Lansdale, PA - Greene Tweed, a leading global manufacturer of high-performance sealing solutions and engineered components, introduces the new Canted Coil MSE® (metal spring energized) sealing solution, designed to further reduce power loss and improve precision movement without sacrificing leakage control or durability. The seals offer broad chemical compatibility and resistance to extreme temperatures, pressure, and wear.


Greene Tweed devoted two years of design development and in-house testing to lead the industry in not only friction reduction but also sealing in the most challenging low temperature applications. Benchmark testing against some of the top performing spring energized seals highlighted the compromise in performance at extreme temperatures. Low friction at higher temperatures resulted in high leakage at low temperatures. Prioritizing leakage control at low temperatures resulted in higher friction. Greene Tweed's new canted coil demonstrated a friction improvement of up to 61% across a wide temperature range while improving leakage control up to 74% especially at lower temperatures. Moreover, unlike an elastomer seal, the MSE seals don't suffer compression set even when exposed to extreme temperatures. Another benefit to the Canted Coil design is even as the sealing material wears away, the sealing and friction performance remains consistent.

All of this makes the new Canted Coil MSE ideal for a variety of aerospace applications, such as: in Engine and Fuel Systems, Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems, Flight Actuation Systems, Pan and Tilt Systems, and Propeller Actuation and Electric Propulsion Systems.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
