Telescopic spring cover
Spring-loaded metal cover that protects a spindle or ball screw over long travel.
A telescopic spring cover is a spring-loaded metal screw cover that protects a machine spindle or ball screw over long travel, collapsing into a short stack when retracted.
What is a telescopic spring cover?
The telescopic spring cover (metal screw cover) surrounds a spindle or ball screw and telescopes with the axis, so a long stroke is protected while the retracted cover occupies only a fraction of that length. An internal spring keeps the sections positioned as the axis moves.
It is used where a long screw or spindle must stay clean but the machine has limited space for a fully extended cover.

What does a telescopic spring cover protect?
A machine spindle or ball screw over long travel, while collapsing to a short length when retracted so it fits a compact machine.
How do I size one?
Provide the screw or spindle diameter and the stroke (extended and retracted lengths). We size the sections and spring.
