Extension springs have a wide range of applications and uses. The are closed coiled spring that are used where a force is required to pull between two points - the opposite of a compression spring, where the force is repulsive. As for compression springs, they are relatively easy to design and manufacture although the type of end hook or loop can be important

Extension springs offer resistance to pulling forces. Many different end configurations or "hooks" are used to secure extension springs to the sources of the pulling force

An tension (extension) spring offers resistance to a pulling force. Many different end configurations or "hooks" are used to secure the spring to the source of the pulling force. A common example of an extension spring is the spring in a storm door.

 

Extension springs can be made from round or square wire, although round is considerably cheaper and easier to manufacture. We keep a vast selection of material sizes and types in stock, from standard spring steels to nickel alloys, all of which can be used to manufacture extension springs.

  The performance of a Extension spring depends on the following factors:
Wire size

Body Diameter
Number of coils

Length
Rate
Hook / Lock Type
Index
Stress
