Ressort à pression radial (20') se présentant sous la forme d'un élastomère ayant un rapport entre la contrainte plastique et la contrainte élastique supérieur à 1,5 pour 1 et ayant la forme d'un corps creux doté de parois orientées (24') qui comportent une courbure résultant d'une précompression radiale. Ledit ressort est précomprimé de manière à dépasser les caractéristiques établies de compression de l'élastomère et à orienter sa structure moléculaire. A radial compression spring having a formed of an elastomer having a ratio of plastic strain to elastic strain that is greater than 1.5 to 1 into a hollow body having oriented wall sections that include a bend as a result of radial precompression. The spring is precompressed to overcome the compression set characteristics of the elastomer and to orient its molecular structure.
