W.B. Jones is the Source for Long Extension Springs

Long Extension SpringsSome applications require unusually long extension springs. In the development of long extension springs, special considerations must but taken so that the spring performs reliably and without problems. As experienced spring specialists, the W.B. Jones team looks at a number of factors including length, material, and application requirements.

When considering spring length, we are referring to overall length  measured from end to end, including the hooks for loops. For custom springs, we also look for the body length measurement, which is just the length of the body coils. This can be measured in inches, or the number of coils can be counted. The overall length of our long stock extension springs can reach up to 20 inches. These are a great option for those who want a cut to size extension spring.  We also make custom long extension springs in lengths of 10 feet and more.

The materials most often used for long extension springs include:

  • 302 Stainless Steel
  • Music Wire
  • Hard Drawn MB

The best material for any given long spring will depend on the application for which it is being used. Typical long extension spring applications include automotive assemblies, agricultural machinery, toys, trampolines, as well as garage doors and storm doors.
