As defined by SMI: 'Extension springs are springs
which absorb and store energy by offering resistance to a pulling
force. Various types of ends are used to attach the extension
spring to the source of the force.' Wire types are also quite varied. Material types can be
anything from music wire to titanium to beryllium copper.
Shapes differ from round, ovoid, square, rectangular, and stranded
wire. Ends on an extension spring are generally
designed specifically for the application, but there are several basic
types. Click here for some examples. |
