Extension springs absorb and store energy as well as make a protection from a pulling force. These springs are regularly connected at the both finishes to different parts and when these parts move separated, the spring attempts to unite them back once more.
| To calculate wire diameter, |
| (OD - ID) ÷ 2 = WD |
| To calculate the outer diameter, |
| 2WD + ID = OD |
| To calculate inner diameter, |
| OD – 2WD = ID |
| To calculate mean diameter, |
| OD – WD = MD |
| ID + WD = MD |
| To calculate load |
| R = Load(L) / Distance travelled(Dt) |
1. Machine Hooks: Machine hooks are typically attached to the ends of extension springs to provide a means of securely attaching the spring to other components or anchor points.
2. Center Hooks: Center hooks are typically attached to the center of the extension spring to provide a means of securely attaching the spring to other components or anchor points.
3. Side Hooks: Side hooks are typically attached to the ends of the extension spring, with the hook positioned perpendicular to the spring axis.
4. No Hooks: No hooks is a type of extension spring configuration where the ends of the spring are not formed into hooks, loops, or other attachment mechanisms.
5. Extended Hooks: Extended hooks are typically attached to the ends of the extension spring and are formed to extend beyond the end of the spring.
