Tension springs (or extension springs) are helical springs designed to absorb and store energy by resisting a pulling force. They are typically close-coiled and feature hooks or loops at the ends for secure attachment, releasing their stored energy as they extend under load.
Tension springs are essential for providing restorative force. They are widely used in **trampolines, garage doors, washing machines, and lever mechanisms**. Their close-coil structure and custom ends ensure a secure attachment and reliable, consistent pulling force.
Characteristics: Linear force response, customizable hook direction and coil tightness (pre-tension), rust-proof with surface treatment options, supports high cycle usage.
Measurements: Wire Diameter: 0.2{mm} – 25{mm}, Outer Diameter: 2{mm} – 150{mm}, Free Length: Custom Hook-to-Hook Length, Number of Coils: Variable as per tension requirement.
Configurations: Full loops, extended hooks, reduced hooks, swiveling ends, various hook shapes (cross-center, side-center).
Rate or Stiffness: Moderate stiffness (20–150{ N/mm}).
Service Life: Up to 500,000 dynamic cycles depending on load type and environment.
Tolerances: pm 0.1{mm} OD, pm 10 in load, adhering to IS and DIN standards.
Applications: Trampolines, return mechanisms, garage doors, automotive interiors, levers, and pull-actuated devices.
