Mechanical Extension Spring

Extension springs absorb and store energy while also resisting a pulling force. Extension springs are connected to other components on both ends. When these components separate, the extension spring attempts to bring them back together. These springs absorb and store energy while also resisting a pushing force. The starting tension of an extension spring dictates how tightly it is coiled. This starting tension can be adjusted to meet the load requirements of a specific application. Hooks, eyes, or other interface geometries are used on the ends of extension springs to attach to the components they link. They are typically employed to give return force to actuated components that stretch.Springs are crucial components in heavy machinery, garage doors and other applications across various industries. Springs exist in all shapes and sizes and consist of different materials.
