Mollificio Lecchese, extension springs for a variety of applications

In this article, we have talked about the compression springs manufactured by the Italian expert Mollificio Lecchese. Today, we shift the focus to extension springs.

While compression springs resist negative deformation, extension ones resist elongating axial forces. Extension springs can feature a variety of loops: the most common are English, German, elongated, or shaped. Thanks to their mechanical properties, these devices are widely used in many sectors (such as automotive, nautical, Oil&Gas, and steel industry) for applications of vibration reduction or enhancement, shock attenuation, control of moving parts, and energy storage. Depending on the application and type of use, choosing the correct spring material and size is paramount. In particular, Mollificio Lecchese can process a wide range of steels to manufacture ø0.20 mm to ø9 mm components. Moreover, the company has recently expanded its machine shop with two new electronic production plants for the manufacturing of ø2.50 mm to ø4.50 mm extension springs for hinges.
