As we all know, springs are indispensable in daily life. Let's introduce the tension spring, a type of helical spring, also known as a tension spring, extension spring, or spiral tension spring. The name varies depending on the type of spring used. It's a type of spring that bears axial tensile force, unlike compression springs which bear axial compression. Tension springs are typically made of round cross-section material. The design difference from compression springs is that they have two "hooks" on each side. When not bearing axial tensile force, the coils are in a closed state. Let's understand what a tension spring is and its applications.
Tension springs hold a key position in the global market. From small medical devices to mechanical braking springs in the field, the application of tension springs allows you to specify various pull rings and hooks. The close contact between adjacent coils generates initial tension, which helps control load and stiffness. They are widely used in defense, marine, computer, electronics, automotive, mold making, medical, biochemical, aerospace, railway, nuclear power, wind power, thermal power, engineering machinery, mining machinery, construction machinery, elevators, and other fields.
