Tension Springs

Pure precision

During the design stage of a tension spring, our 50 years of production experience come into play

Our team of engineers has extensive experience in developing tension springs especially suited to your needs. We are committed to creating the perfect solution, and this requires unique know-how due to the different stresses that the coil and the loops or hooks have to withstand.

Tension springs, also known as extension or expansion springs, are coiled springs that hold an initial tension that keeps the coils together and stores energy that gives a specific pull force when extended. With our vast production experience, at RPK Group during the design of a tension spring we take both the hook (or loop) type and the working space into consideration, thereby offering you top quality solutions adapted to your needs. 

It is important to create custom solutions when a tension spring is needed, since the ideal solution depends on many factors, such as work frequencies, impact loading, environment conditions and the stresses that the hooks (or loops) withstand. It is vital to bear in mind that this kind of spring interacts with other elements in the assembly, so designing a personalized product and always testing it in the final assembly is fundamental.
