Extension Springs
Extension springs, also known as tension springs, are designed to store energy and offer resistance to a pulling force. The ends typically have machined, crossover, side or extended hooks/loops, but can also be manufactured with double-loops or other various end configurations. Generally, extension springs have a constant-diameter body. However, it is not uncommon for a customer to require a conical, barrel or hourglass-shaped design.
Peninsula Spring has decades of engineering and manufacturing experience to aid in the design of all types of extension springs. We can help design a spring to meet the required force and deflection (travel) while staying within the required space constraints. We can estimate both hook and coil-body fatigue life and can use various methods to increase spring life.
Custom Extension Spring Applications
Due to their adaptability, custom extension springs can be used in numerous types of applications, some of which include:
- Solar industry
- Medical devices
- Satellites/Space applications
- Electronics
- Circuit boards
- Precision instruments and tools
