What are Tension Springs?
Tension springs – also known as extension springs – are a type of spring that applies a resistive force as the spring extends, and are commonly used to move or return a component part. They normally have special ends with hooks on them, which allow for application on the load. Without tension springs, many products wouldn’t be able to operate effectively. The design of these springs is integral to enable the tension load to stretch, and then to exert a force which brings it back together – making them an essential part of many products that we commonly use.
What are Tension Springs Used For?
They are used in a wide range of applications, making them a very versatile type of spring including white goods, ratchet mechanisms, pliers, upholstery surgical lights, farm equipment, trampolines, garage doors, counterbalances and many more types of products. Tension springs can be manufactured in a wide number of sizes, shapes, and materials depending on the product they are being used for.
