Extension springs, commonly referred to as tension springs, are high-performance mechanical components engineered to exert a pulling force when stretched. Fabricated from premium steel extension spring wire, these components are essential for storing and releasing energy through tension, ensuring reliable motion control across a diverse array of industrial and commercial applications.
At Shijiazhuang TangChao Metal Products Co., Ltd., we specialize in delivering precision-engineered spring solutions. From standard coil tension springs to fully customized designs with varied hook types and tensile strengths, our products are manufactured in our 7,000-square-meter facility using advanced German, Korean, and Taiwanese machinery to guarantee unmatched dimensional accuracy and durability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Extension springs (tension springs) are designed to exert force when pulled apart, absorbing energy and pulling back to their original shape. In contrast, compression springs are designed to resist being pushed together.
Stainless steel is the ideal choice for corrosive environments due to its natural resistance to oxidation. Additionally, we offer various surface treatments for carbon steel to enhance durability.
Yes, we provide full customization for hook designs, including full loops, machine hooks, and crossover hooks, ensuring a perfect fit for your specific assembly requirements.
We utilize ISO-standard procedures, imported precision machinery from Germany and Korea, and a dedicated team of 30 experts who conduct rigorous load testing and visual inspections.
They are widely used in automotive throttle returns, garage door mechanisms, industrial valves, actuators, and agricultural cable systems where high pulling force is required.
Our in-house R&D engineers can work closely with you to determine the required spring constant based on your load conditions, free length, and maximum tension requirements.
