End Options

Each spring may have a different need. The possibilities are limitless with our vast array of spring end options, giving you the ultimate variety of choice for how you can tailor your extension spring design to the exact issue at hand in your workspace.

Tension

Elastic extension springs with 3X Springs are customized for the exact resistance needed. Several band strength options are available for immediate ordering.

The tension level of the band is gauged using tension force instruments to determine the amount of force needed to extend the spring up to 3-4 times its normal length. This predetermined length defines the spring’s capacity for elastic deformation. The material the spring is constructed with allows it to be extended far more often without becoming inelastic.

In addition, the polypropylene sleeve maintains the durability of the spring by shielding the tubing from any damage it may incur in the industrial space.

Safety Sleeve

At 3X Springs, we pioneered the invention of the safety sleeved polypropylene elastic spring as a way to dually benefit the spring’s performance and reliability as well as its circumstantial safety.

Industrial workspaces can be rugged places, so the sleeve on the spring is a solid barrier of protection against external damage such as abrasion or lesions to the synthetic fiber. It also protects the integrity of the elastic body in outdoor environments where sun or weather can be a threat.

The sleeve also serves as a safeguard against potential dangers if the fiber was to actually break. An unprotected spring breaking results in an uncontrolled outcome that could result in workplace accidents and danger to other equipment or personnel. With the sleeve, a broken spring is a safely-contained circumstance with an easy solution.

Whether to help you put forth your most consistent brand, or to facilitate functional purposes like high or low visibility, we offer several different color choices for the sleeve on your elastic extension spring. The choice is yours.

End Options

With 3X Springs, we know our products can be a perfect fit for a variety of environments in the industrial space. To fulfill that vision, we’ve widened our inventory of customizable spring end pieces to accommodate just about any design type and need.

The pieces seen here are just a few of our most popular choices. We have these options along with about a dozen more available for immediate order and shipping, and many more options are available for custom design by working with our representatives on your best solution.
