    Extra-Stretch Extension Springs

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Extension Springs. Extra-Stretch Extension Springs.
    Stretch up to three times their original length with lasting elasticity. These latex rubber springs extend much farther than traditional extension springs, tie downs, and shock cords. Plus, unlike metal springs, they keep their elasticity even after repeated use. All have a non-locking carabiner with a spring-loaded latch at each end for ease of installation. They’re often used in automotive assembly lines, conveyor systems, and safety mechanisms. Do not use them to hold overhead loads.
    Minimum Load—The amount of force required to start extending the spring.
    Maximum Load—The amount of force required to fully extend the spring.

    This cable extends up to 40% of its original length then recovers, all while sending reliable signals. Thanks to a stretchable core and jacket, vibration and bending won't degrade the signal over its long flex life. Ideal for constant motion applications, it's often sewn into garments and integrated into wearable devices.
    Unshielded—Choose unshielded wires when electromagnetic interference (EMI) isn't a concern. Equipment such as motors and pumps may have voltage fluctuations and current spikes that distort signals.
    Shielded—A single layer of shielding protects sensitive electronics and control systems by blocking electromagnetic interference (EMI). Otherwise, equipment such as motors and pumps could distort signals.
    Pinch Clamps—Hold the cable in place while it moves. Crimp the pinch points on the clamp to install.

    The shielding in this wire blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. When pulled lengthwise, it extends 40% and then returns to its original length, so it's useful for high-vibration and continuous-motion applications such as robotics. It’s also known as hook-up wire.
    Pinch Clamps—Pinch clamps (sold separately) act as ferrules to hold insulation in place in continuous-motion applications. Crimp the pinch points on the clamp to install (crimper not included).
