Constant Force Extension Springs From SDP/SI

Press Release  |  July 15, 2013  |  New Hyde Park, NY

Constant Force Extension Springs From SDP Offer High Stress and Long Deflection

Constant force springs from Stock Drive Products are designed to be used in any application that requires a smooth, even, uniform load through the entire length of travel (deflection) for retracting or extending. They are used to counterbalance windows, doors, display racks and trays. They are also used in magazine feed drivers in vending machines and assembly line machinery.

Identified as the A 3X50-... Neg'ator® series, they offer high stress and long deflection. These are significant advantages over conventional coiled springs when used in applications where low or zero gradient is desired, limited space is a factor, large extensions are required, or high initial force at initial deflection is desired. The springs feature widths from 3/16" to 2", are made of 301 stainless steel for superior performance in harsh environments, and have at least one punched hole in the free end for fastening purposes. The maximum recommended load per spring ranges from .23 lbf to 40.9 lbf.
