Tension Springs Catalogue
The Spring Store provides you with our tension spring catalogue. Search our huge tension spring database by using our quick tension spring finder. You may input your tension spring's outer diameter and length inside hooks or click on the link provided at the top right corner of the finder which will direct you to the full tension spring catalog database. We offer over 4,000 tension spring designs in stock with lengths from 0.220" to 9.880".Get more news about

For every tension spring catalog search, you will get a list of several springs that are similar to your original tension spring design but vary in rate and initial tension. Initial tension is the tension already gathered in between your spring's coils in order to keep the tension spring's coils together. To calculate initial tension follow the example below:
The method used by the spring industry to determining initial tension is the following:
Extend the spring a specified distance to get space in-between the coils (L1). Extend the spring the same amont distance (L2). Duplicate L1 and subtract L2 from the result therefore calculating your final initial tension.
The great advantage of buying stock tension springs from a tension spring catalogue is how much faster you can get your springs than if you were to order custom springs. We have a 1 to 3 days lead time which guarantees that your springs will be at your doorstep within a week or week and a half depending on the shipping method.
At The Spring Store, not only are you provided with various tension spring designs with different tension spring measurements, but our stock tension springs also have different hooks types as well as different material types and a lot of them are also plated to offer corrosion resistance. The material types include music wire (spring steel), stainless steel, hard drawn, oil tempered, beryllium copper, and phosphor bronze. Tension springs made out of music wire may be plated in zinc, black oxide, or gold irridite finishes.
At Acxess Spring we are able to increase your extension spring’s amount of tension. Our highly experienced spring engineers will work with you on your tension spring design in order to make sure that your spring can resist a large amount of load, therefore making this a high tension spring.
The force chart shows what adjustments will increase the force of your high tension spring. To increase the tension (or force) of your spring, you must either increase the wire diameter, decrease the outer diameter, or increase the length of your high tension spring’s body; therefore decreasing the . On the other hand, to decrease the force of your tension spring, you must either make the wire diameter smaller, increase the outer diameter, or make the body length of your spring longer; therefore giving you more coils.
One thing you must be very aware of when it comes to your high tension springs, though, is the initial tension it exerts. This has as much to do with your tension spring design as your spring’s rate does because it will also affect your spring’s working loads.
Initial tension is the tension gathered in between your spring’s coils before it is extended. Initial tension will be released once your spring has been extended to the point where you can see light in between the coils. To calculate your spring’s initial tension, you must extend your spring enough to where you can see space in between the coils (this will be your L1). Then, extend your spring the same amount of distance (this will be your L2). Multiply the value of L1 by 2 and subtract the value in L2 from the previous calculation. This will give you your tension spring’s initial tension. The formula and explanation to calculate your high tension spring’s initial tension is provided below along with the diagram to the right.
