tension or extension spring

Extension springs are designed to absorb and store energy as well as create a resistance to a pulling force. It is initial tension that determines how tightly together an extension spring is coiled. This initial tension can be manipulated to achieve the load requirements of your particular application. All Century extension springs are wound with an initial tension force which offers a small deflection load for secure installation "holding". The initial tension is equal to the minimum force required to separate adjacent coils. Each spring is of the constant diameter type with a variety of hook/loop styles

Tension springs in a wide range of variations : Tension springs are designed to give a specific pull force when extended to a a specific length. Our tension springs have a material dimensional range from 0.03 - 26 millimeter. Cold coiled extension springs can be given an initial tension which needs to be overcome before any elongation of the spring takes place. The level of initial tension can be controlled. Most common ends are different types of end loops and hooks, there are also a wide range of other mechanical attachment possibilities such as coiled in and screwed in attachments. Examples are, half hooks, German loops, English loops, extended hooks, side hooks, side loops, screw plugs and screw shackles. Unique competence in manufacturing tension springs Lessors have long experience of tension springs and constantly give priority to technological developments in the field.
