Garage Extension Springs

Garage Extension Springs are attached at both ends to other components. When these components move apart, the spring tries to bring them together again. Extension springs absorb and store energy as well as create a resistance to a pulling force. It is initial tension that determines how tightly together an extension spring is coiled. This initial tension can be manipulated to achieve the load requirements of a particular application. Extension springs are wound to oppose extension.

Applications: applications for extension springs include automotive interiors and exteriors, vise-grip pliers, auto electric switches, reversing switches and toys as well as thousands of other uses
