Controlled Tension and Fail-Safe Linkages

Drawbar Spring – Controlled Tension and Fail-Safe Mechanism

About the Product

Drawbar Springs are specialized tension springs that incorporate a solid drawbar or limiting rod to control the extension travel. This design prevents the spring from being overstressed or breaking when pulled beyond its safe limit, making it a critical safety component in demanding mechanical assemblies.

Key Features
  • Fail-safe design for controlled extension and safety
  • High resistance to sudden load changes or shocks
  • Prevents spring over-extension and breakage
  • Ideal for critical load applications and transport
Product Overview

Often classified as safety tension springs, Drawbar Springs are vital for systems that require secured tension or quick-release mechanisms. They are frequently used in heavy machinery, transportation locks, and agricultural equipment where reliability is paramount.

Technical Specifications

Characteristics: Standard tension spring body with an internal or external rod (drawbar) to restrict total extension.

Measurements: Wire Diameter: 1.0 mm – 10.0 mm. Length and Form: Fully customizable to blueprint specifications.

Configurations: Extended hook ends, threaded rod assemblies, or specialized mounting flanges.

Rate or Stiffness: Highly variable (10 N/mm – 80 N/mm), dependent on wire size and coil geometry.

Service Life: Design-dependent, capable of up to 750,000 cycles under optimal load conditions.

Tolerances: Tight control: ± 0.15 mm on overall length and ± 10% on load at specified extension.

Applications: Safety release mechanisms, agricultural equipment, overhead garage doors, transport vehicle restraints, and railway buffer systems.
