Micro Extension Springs

Micro extension springs are the smaller version of an extension spring that handles lighter loads in applications where space is limited.

Functionality

Micro extension springs have a thinner wire diameter compared to regular extension springs, but they still share the same properties of stretching and maintaining elasticity. This allows them to return to their original length once any force is removed. As a result, they are particularly useful for applications such as retractable mechanisms and closing devices.

Industrial Applications

  • Electronics: They are commonly used in devices such as phones, cameras, and other gadgets where space is limited, and precise movement is required.
  • Automotive: Micro extension springs can be found in car components, including seat adjustment mechanisms and hatchback latches in the boot.
  • Medical Devices: Micro extension springs are used in equipment like infusion pumps and precision measuring instruments that need to be accurate for diagnosing patients.
  • Aerospace: They are utilised in various aerospace applications, where weight and space constraints make micro-extension springs ideal for maintaining functionality.​
