Extension springs

Extension springs, also known as tension springs, are a type of helical spring that withstands axial tension.

Features of extension springs

  • Compact structure: In the unloaded state, the coils of the extension spring are closely adjacent to each other without gaps.
  • Energy absorption and storage: It can absorb and store mechanical energy, and release the energy when released, which is suitable for occasions that require buffering or reset mechanisms.
  • Flexibility: By changing the parameters such as the material, diameter, number of coils, etc. of the spring, its initial tension and elastic properties can be adjusted to meet the needs of different applications.
  • Various terminal devices: Various terminal devices or “hooks” are often equipped at both ends to facilitate fixing to other components to ensure effective function during stretching.
  • Various materials: Although carbon spring steel is the most commonly used material, low manganese spring steel and other more expensive materials are also available to adapt to different environments and performance requirements.

High strength

The load-bearing capacity of the tension spring is outstanding among elastic elements and can withstand large stresses.

High reliability

Since the design and processing of the tension spring are scientifically and rigorously calculated and optimized, there are almost no problems such as failure or load drop in actual applications.

Easy processing

Compared with other forms of springs, tension springs are easier to manufacture and can be tailored to specific requirements.

Strong adaptability

The tension spring can maintain stable performance in various environments (such as high temperature, low temperature, humidity, etc.), so it can work normally in various complex environments.

How to custom extension springs

MYD has dozens of spring machines, equipped with dedicated spring engineers, and has the ability to produce large quantities of customized springs.

01

Demand analysis

Communicate with customers to understand specific needs, including spring type (compression spring, tension spring, torsion spring, etc.), purpose, working environment, load requirements, size, etc.

02

Design and calculation

According to customer needs, use professional spring design software or formulas (such as Hooke’s law) to calculate and determine the key parameters of the spring, such as material, wire diameter, number of turns, free length, and end treatment method.

03

Prototype production

According to the design drawings, select suitable materials (such as carbon steel, stainless steel, piano wire, etc.) and make spring prototypes through cold forming or hot forming processes. This stage may require the use of spring machines, CNC lathes, wire-cutting machines and other equipment.

04

Test verification

Perform functional and performance tests on the produced spring prototype, including but not limited to load testing, fatigue testing, dimensional inspection, etc., to ensure that it meets the design requirements and relevant standards. If the test results do not meet the standards, it is necessary to return to the design stage for adjustment.

05

Mass production

After the design is confirmed to be correct, it enters the mass production stage. At this time, it is necessary to strictly control the quality of the production process, to ensure that each spring meets the quality standards.
