Model: Tension spring
Material: spring steel
Wire diameter: 5.0mm
Application scenario: In automobile traction devices, tension springs can be used as buffer elements. When the car suddenly accelerates or brakes while driving, the tension spring can buffer the impact force between the tow hook and the towed object, preventing the connecting parts from being damaged by the instantaneous force. In addition, tension springs are also used in the front fork shock absorption systems of some sports equipment such as mountain bikes to cushion the bumps and impacts encountered while riding.
Reset function
Principle: Tension springs always tend to return to their original shape after being stretched and deformed by external forces. With this feature, it can return the moved object to its original position.
Application scenario: In some mechanical device valves, the tension spring can ensure that the valve returns to its original closed or open state without external force. For example, in some simple faucets, the tension spring can return the valve core to the position of closing the water flow without external pressure or rotation, preventing water leakage
