    Extension springs differ from compression springs in that they carry tensile loading and require a means of transferring load from a support to the wound spring body, which is under initial tension. Stresses in the spring body are handled the same as compression springs. The maximum tensile stress at a point due to bending and axial loading can be calculated, as well as the maximum torsional stress for the spring body. The load-deflection relationship and spring rate can also be determined. Design factors must ensure stresses do not exceed material strengths at critical locations using the same stress terms and units.

    Extension Spring Design

    Extension springs differ from compression springs


    • Carry tensile loading.
    • Require some means of transferring the load from the
    support to the body of the spring.
    • The spring body is wound with an initial tension.
    • The load transfer can be done with a threaded plug or a
    swivel hook; a cost added to the finished product.

    • Stresses in the body of the extension spring are handled the
    same as compression springs. In designing a spring with a
    hook end, bending and torsion in the hook

    where y is the extension beyond the free length L0
    and Fi is the initial tension in the spring that must be exceeded before the spring deflects.
    The load-deflection relation is then.

    The stress and strength terms in Eq. (1–3) must be of the same type and units.
    Also, the stress and strength must apply to the same critical location in the part.
