Exploring the Functionality and Applications of HHS® Tube
What if your shaft could deliver torque, resist elongation, navigate tight bends, and maintain an open lumen all at the same time? HHS® tube was developed to help engineers solve exactly those challenges.
Unlike traditional metal tubing, HHS® tube is built from helically wound filars arranged around an open center. By adjusting the construction, engineers can tune key mechanical properties to support specific device requirements and operating environments.
The unique design space extends well beyond geometry. Material selection influences everything from corrosion resistance and fatigue life to shape-setting capabilities, while multiple construction parameters work together to define overall product performance.
Post-processing options, coatings, welding approaches, and end-finishing methods add another layer of customization, helping engineers optimize performance throughout development.
