China Extension Springs – Leading Suppliers & Factory for High-Quality Coil Springs
SMS Spring's Extension Springs are supplied with full diameter loops (either machine or crossover center) at a random position with the exception of Metric Extension Springs specified to comply with DIN Standards. Loop openings are approximately one wire diameter and the direction of wind is factory optional. Lee Stock Extension Springs are available in both Inch and Metric designs. If exact direction of helix is required, Custom Extension Springs can be made to specification. To fit assembly functions, a multitude of hook or loop configurations may be specified. Close winding of the body provides initial tension in the spring to help manipulate the load and rate.
Extension spring ends include threaded inserts, extended twist loops, crossover center loops, hooks, expanded eyes, reduced eyes, rectangular ends and teardrop-shaped ends, which can all be produced to vary in distance from the spring body. At the design stage of custom extension springs, the length of the hooks at each end of the spring can be adjusted in order to precisely obtain the required spring load at any extended position.
Continuous Length Extension Springs are designed to be cut to desired length by the user to meet a particular load requirement. Various loops or hooks can be formed on the ends using looping pliers or other appropriate instruments; as wire size increases, use different tools including a vise to hold the coil body and a pry bar to bend up the last coil.
Another common type of extension spring is the drawbar spring. In a drawbar, the load is applied at the ends of long steel loops which pass through the spring's center and are hooked around the opposite end, thus compressing the spring upon loading. Drawbar springs are excellent for use in potential overload situations and offer a built-in definite stop that will continue to carry a static load after reaching the maximum extended length. A common application of the drawbar spring is to support a porch swing.
