What to Look for When You Buy Extension Springs

Whenever you wish to buy extension springs, there are a number of things that will go into the decision-making process. Extension springs are unique metal coils that retract when pulled on, and they appear in many machines and tools. Choose the wrong spring and it can break quickly or not work very well, both of which are bad. So being able to tell what you’re looking at helps to make sure you get the spring that’s best for your project. At HENP we have manufactured countless extension springs and here are some tricks of the trade that can save you time and money. It’s not only about price, it’s also about quality and how they fit what you do. Making a smart purchase decision literally means, you save money. 

What To Consider When Purchasing Extension Springs Wholesale? 

The type of material the extension spring is made out of also really matters as it determines how strong and durable your spring will be. Materials of construction may include steel, stainless steel and what not even special alloys occasionally. Steel is reliable and functional for all of your needs, but it can rust when exposed to water or used outdoors. Stainless Steel: Stainless steel is resistant to rust and great for wet or chemical environments. For instance, if you are looking for heavy duty extension springs for garden tools or outdoor equipment, stainless steel is the better material. If, on the other hand, it's for an indoor machine, regular steel may be fine. Certain springs must also withstand extremely high temperatures, while others need to bear very low ones. In the latter two scenarios, special metals like Inconel or music wire are preferable because they maintain their shape even in hot and cold. The right material also depends on how often you will be utilizing the spring. If you pull the strands out a lot every day, you don’t want something that is going to fall apart quickly. At HENP we try to be environmentally conscientious of the products that we use. We know a lot of this is the cost of life to a spring. It’s not as simple as selecting the least expensive metal, but rather the right one for your situation. For instance, one customer required springs for a machine that operates in a salty environment. We suggested stainless steel and the springs lasted far longer than the old plain-steel ones. So, before purchasing, consider where the spring will be placed and how it will be used. If you choose the wrong material and springs snap or lose strength quickly, it can even be dangerous and costly. And keep in mind: Some materials may cost more up front, but you replace the springs less frequently and save money in the long run. 

Where to Source Reliable Wholesale Extension Spring Vendors? 

When buying extension springs in large quantities, trusting who you order from means a great deal. You don’t want to have sub-standard springs that snap easily and do not fit your machines. A reputable supplier like HENP provides custom extension springs that are made with care and tested for high quality. A nice indication that a supplier can be trusted is one who answers your questions with clear, informed responses about product details. They should also have sizes and materials that cater to your needs. Some suppliers do only sell you what they have, but a good one will help you to find the correct spring. For instance, if you aren’t sure as to which spring size fits your needs, a trustworthy supplier will help you gauge and purchase the most suitable spring. Another thing is delivery time. When you need a bunch of springs right away, a reliable supplier can provide on time and ensure that nothing is held up. HENP ensures that orders are processed quickly and dispatched-safe-to consumers. Also make sure the supplier has been in the industry for quite a period of time. A company that has worked with plenty of clients knows the typical issues and how to fix them. That means they can provide better advice and better services. Occasionally, suppliers will sell samples so that the quality of the springs can be tested before buying in bulk. What a great strategy to avoid surprises. Finally, customer service is key. If you receive the help when you need it and answers to your problems, then buying becomes easier and less stressful. Here at HENP, we are doers and believe in creating good relationships with our customers because that’s what makes everyone successful. It’s not just about the price, buying extension springs is about trust and support of your supplier. Which is why so many keep returning to us for their spring needs. 

Best Wear and Performance in Extension Springs

When you are ready to purchase extension springs, it is extremely important that they be long lasting and work well. Extension springs are small, coiled metallic beasts that stretch out when you pull on them. They make machines and devices move without friction. To have great springs, take into consideration what the springs are made from. At HENP we’re accustomed to using tough metals such as stainless steel or a great carbon steel because they don’t break easily, and these same metals can withstand high degrees of stretching and still retain their shape. You might also want to inspect the spring’s size and shape. The length, diameter and thickness of the wire all have an impact on what the spring does. If the spring is too weak or strong for your project it may not function properly and could possibly snap. HENP comes in several sizes to meet various needs, so you’re sure to find the perfect fit. Also the construction of the spring is important. With good springs, the coils are tight and even with the surface being smooth. That way they won’t catch or be crushed as easily. Each spring at HENP is painstakingly created and tested to ensure it's up to high standards. Lastly consider the situation in which you want to use the spring. One that won’t rust if the spring will be outside or located near water. HENP offers coated specialty springs that are protected against rust and wear. By focusing on these, material size, make quality and safety you should end up with extension springs that are durable and give great results. 

What is the Most Popular in Extension Spring Designs? 

Knowing recent developments will help when making a decision, particularly for individuals or companies that buy extension springs in bulk quantities since it would be easier to select the best. At HENP, we’re on top of all of the newest designs that make springs work better and last longer. One major trend is special coatings of the springs themselves. Such coatings serve as protection against rust, dirt and other damage. That means even in hard places, like factories or outside machines, the springs stay strong. Another trend is to produce springs of more appropriate shapes and sizes. New computer tools are helping engineers design springs to fit machines like a glove, using less metal and still doing a highly effective job. HENP takes advantage of these intelligent designs to provide our customers with money-saving and well-functioning springs. Plus, many shoppers want eco-friendly springs. Which is to say, the springs are made out of recycled materials or are easily recyclable after their first life. Dream Inn: HENP is happy to introduce more of our green options that help save the planet. Some buyers also seek out springs capable of doing special jobs — supporting very heavy weights, say, or moving at a speed that is extremely fast. To satisfy such demands, HENP provides bespoke springs that are specifically manufactured for a buyer’s project. This ensures wholesalers can purchase exactly what they need instead of paying for extra features they don’t want. Last but not least, you can easily order online while having the convenience of easy delivery and good customer support.

Common Problems with Extension Springs besides Purchase

In some cases, even after you buy the right extension springs from HENP, issues may still come up once you begin to use it. Understanding how to solve these issues will save you money and time. There are several issues I hear about the most when it comes to frustrated Cricut users who’s mats have stopped being sticky and they all fall under one major problem – the spring isn’t stretching, or pulling back, like it should. This can occur if the spring is too weak or too strong for the application. To correct this, see if the spring you have is of the correct size and strength. If it doesn't you may need to go get another spring or two from HENP Mejosu that fits better.
