The Extension Spring, Regular, part number 5546 from Century Spring Corp. features a diameter of 0.437 inches (11.10 mm) and a length of 3.88 inches (98.4 mm). It is made from music wire (MW) material and has a suggested maximum load of 85 lbs (378 N) with a maximum deflection of 2 inches (51 mm). The spring has a wire diameter of 0.051 inches (1.30 mm) and is designed for applications requiring initial tension, which is essential for maintaining coil separation under load. This spring is suitable for various applications where energy absorption and resistance to pulling forces are necessary.
Century Spring warehouses the largest inventory of high-grade extension springs in the world. Extension springs are designed to absorb and store energy as well as create a resistance to a pulling force. It is initial tension that determines how tightly together an extension spring is coiled. This initial tension can be manipulated to achieve the load requirements of your particular application. All Century extension springs are wound with an initial tension force which offers a small deflection load for secure installation "holding". The initial tension is equal to the minimum force required to separate adjacent coils. Each spring is of the constant diameter type with a variety of hook/loop styles.
Note: If the spring needed for your application cannot be found in our inventory, we can fabricate it for you. Call our Custom Spring department at 800-237-5225 or e-mail us at cust@centuryspring.c
