Tension spring

A tension spring is a mechanical component used in various vehicle parts to absorb forces, support movement, or return components to their original position. It operates on the principle of tensile stress and is stretched when a force is applied to it.

Tension springs are used in numerous areas of vehicle manufacturing, such as in braking mechanisms, clutch systems, engine and chassis components, door mechanisms, and various holding and return mechanisms. They ensure that moving components are moved in a controlled manner or returned to their original position after actuation.

Tension springs are typically made of hardened spring steel or special metal alloys designed for high loads and continuous use. Their spiral winding design ensures even force distribution and reliable return to its original position.

Because tension springs are continuously subjected to stress during vehicle operation, they can lose tension, deform, or break over time. A damaged spring can lead to malfunctions in the affected mechanisms.

Timely replacement ensures that the relevant components function correctly again and that the mechanical movements in the vehicle are carried out reliably.

In this category, you'll find tension springs for numerous vehicle makes and models, either in perfect original equipment manufacturer (OEM) quality or as high-quality aftermarket alternatives.
