Tension Springs

  • The main use of a tension spring is to absorb or store energy along with creating a resistance to the pulling force, the spring gets stretched as the lood is applied to it
  • Tension springs are attached at both ends to other components, when these components move apart, the spring tries to bring them together again; tension springs absorb and store energy as well as create a resistance to a pulling force
  • It is the initial tension that determines how tightly together an extension spring a coiled; the initial tension can be manipulated to achieve the load requirements of a particular application; these are wound to oppose extension
  • They are often tughtly wound in the no load position and have hooks, eyes, or other interface geometry at the ends to attach to the components they connect; they are frequently used to provide return force to components that extend in the actuated position.
