How to measure an extension spring
- L₀
- Free length: the length without load, measured between the inner edges of the loops.
- L, F
- Working length: the extended length when installed, measured the same way, where the spring must give the force F.
- L₁
- Test length: the longest length in the catalogue data, where the force F1 is given. Keep your working length below it.
- F₀
- Initial tension: the force built into the coils. Below F0 the spring does not extend.
- Do / Di
- Outer and inner diameter of the body.
- d
- Wire diameter.
- LH / Lk
- Loop height and body length. L0 = Lk + 2 × LH.
Replacing a spring? Measure an unloaded spring inside the loops with a calliper and note the loop type. Not sure? Send us a photo with a ruler next to the spring.
