A metal is a helical spring designed to absorb tensile forces and store mechanical energy when stretched. As soon as the tension is released, the spring returns to its original shape, creating a controlled retraction force. This makes tension springs essential in applications where tension needs to be regulated or where components need to be automatically brought back into position.
De Spiraal produces metal tension springs in various dimensions, strengths, and materials, tailored to your specific application. The ends can be provided with hooks, eyes or threaded connections, so they can easily be attached to other parts. Thanks to the shape, diameter, wire thickness and pitch, the strength and spring characteristics are determined.
- Mechanical engineering: In mechanical engineering, metal extension springs are often used in applications where controlled force and energy storage are required. They are applied in automated systems, conveyor belts, fans, and as part of damping mechanisms in machines and equipment. Thanks to their flexibility and durability, they contribute to efficient operation and a long service life of machinery.
- Agricultural sector: In the agricultural sector, metal extension springs are widely used in machines such as combine harvesters, seed drills, and irrigation systems. They contribute to the suspension and damping of moving parts, ensure precision in mechanical operations, and enhance the stability of agricultural equipment. This is particularly important in rough environments, where our extension springs provide reliable performance.
- Medical sector: In the medical sector, metal extension springs are used in equipment such as infusion pumps, surgical instruments, and respiratory devices. Thanks to their precision and reliability, they ensure the correct force and movement in medical applications where every millimetre and effort is essential for the safety and effectiveness of the medical device.
- Defence & Aerospace: In the defence and aerospace sectors, metal extension springs are used in a wide range of applications, from landing gear and cockpit mechanisms to weapon systems and radar installations. These extension springs provide the required force, reliability, and resistance to extreme conditions such as high speeds, temperature fluctuations, and heavy loads.
