Extra-Stretch Extension Springs


These fabric-covered rubber springs stretch up to three times their original length—much farther than traditional extension springs, tie downs, and shock cords. All have carabiner ends with spring-loaded latch openings. Do not use to hold overhead loads.
As you stretch an extension spring, it gets harder to pull. Minimum load is the amount of force required to start to extend the spring. Maximum load is the amount of force required to fully extend the spring. Spring rate is the amount of force required for every inch of extension.

Stretchable Cable



- Use For:
Unshielded: Panel and Equipment (Hook-Up), Automation, Continuous Motion
Shielded: Panel and Equipment (Hook-Up), Automation, Continuous Motion, Interference Shielding - Continuous Flex
- Temperature Range: -30° to 175° F
- Insulation:
Outer: Polyurethane Rubber
Inner: Polypropylene Plastic
This cable can be stretched by about 40% and return to its original length, making it useful for applications where cable is in motion. It's often sewn into garments or used with equipment that must be worn. The stretchable properties give it a long flex life. Vibration and motion won’t degrade signal transmission.
Use unshielded cable in applications where signal interference is not a concern.
Shielded cable has a layer of foil that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices.
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.

Shielded Stretchable Wire


- Use for panel and equipment (hook-up), automation, continuous motion, interference shielding
- Continuous Flex
- Temperature Range: -30° to 175° F
- Insulation:
Inner: Polypropylene Plastic
Outer: Polyurethane Rubber
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 (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).
