Constant-Force Springs

No matter how far you extend them, these springs pull back with the same amount of force. Compact and tightly coiled, these springs extend to multiple times their length to pull objects in a linear direction. All are stainless steel for corrosion resistance. Please allow for 1 1/2 coils on the shaft at full extension to hold the spring in place.

Clip-On Constant-Force Springs

Clip the end onto a flat surface to install—no fasteners needed. Once installed, these springs pull back with the same amount of force no matter how far you extend them. Compact and tightly coiled, they extend to multiple times their length to pull objects in a linear direction. All are stainless steel for corrosion resistance. When using, please allow for 1 1/2 extra coils on the shaft at full extension to hold the spring in place.

Variable-Force Springs

Compared to constant-force springs, these are easier to pull at first but become harder to pull the farther you extend them. Use them for applications where the load becomes lighter as the spring contracts, such as in automated dispensing machines. All are stainless steel for corrosion resistance. Please allow for 1 1/2 coils on the shaft at full extension to hold the spring in place.

Rotor Springs

Wind these springs to store power, then release them to create rotary motion—similar to winding a wristwatch. Also known as clock springs and power springs. All are stainless steel for corrosion resistance.
