Heavy-Duty & Long-lasting Extension Springs

Extension springs, which are also referred to as closed coil helical springs have both their ends attached to different components. When an external force is applied, and the components move apart, and these springs try to bring these components back to their original position. This is why, these springs are also sometimes referred as tension helical springs. To do this, an extension spring absorbs, and holds energy. It creates resistance of equal magnitude as that of the applied force. SMSC provides close wound extension springs of different capabilities and specifications.

Specifications of Extension Springs

The extension springs available with us have following specifications:

Capabilities of Extension Springs

We provide extension springs of following capabilities:

1. Ends: The different end types of extension springs provided by SMSC are full-loop and machine-made loop configuration. The loops or hooks may have crossways center transition of the previous coil, prior to creating a loop or hook.
2. Tolerances: Tolerance of an extension spring depends on its wire diameter, and the body diameter. Actual values of tolerances depend on the specifications of these tension helical springs. Generally, the tolerance range of these springs vary between +/-10% and +/-5%.
