Tension springs

Tension springs

Tension springs are a type of spring that stretch under the influence of an applied force when subjected to pressure. They are made of wire with the right elasticity, which is wound in a certain number of coils. When a force is applied to a tension spring from one side, the wire twists and transfers the force to the other side.

How do tension springs work?
Where do they find use?

Tension springs work by stretching under the influence of an applied force. They are made of wire of the right elasticity, which is wound in a certain number of coils. The fewer coils a spring has, the stiffer it is and the harder it is to stretch.

When a force is applied to a tension spring from one side, the wire twists and transfers the force to the other side. A tension spring can withstand large tensile forces, but if it is stretched too far, it can break or fail.

Tension springs are used in a wide variety of devices and machines, such as cars, bicycles, furniture, watches and many others. In furniture, they are used in mechanisms, locks, hinges and many other places.
