Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure provides radial springs that control radial forces between adjacent concentric components. The radial springs may be configured for placement between the adjacent concentric components. The radial springs may include a base member, support members extending from the base member, and resilient members extending from the base members. The resilient members may extend radially, axially, at an angle relative to the axis, or a combination thereof, and may be radially deformable. The resilient members may exert radial forces substantially uniformly radially inward or outward in use. The resilient members may be leaf type members or cantilever type members. The support members and resilient members may be provided on a radially inward or outward side of the base member. The methods of installing and uninstalling radial springs may include engaging the resilient members with a tool and radially deforming the resilient members to engage or disengage the radial spring from an adjacent concentric component.
