With globalisation, metric is becoming an industry standard and Lee Spring introduced a range of metric-wire spring products, including REDUX™ Wave Spring and Torsion Spring springs to the market last year in 2012. The metric Extension Spring is the latest metric offering from Lee Spring.

“Previously, Lee Spring customers would refer to the useful conversion charts in our catalogues when specifying springs,” says Chris Petts, Managing Director of Lee Spring. “We still display our vast spring range in imperial and metric but, by supplying a metric range of springs and fasteners, we help our customers to speed up the specification process, whilst achieving precision and accuracy.”

Springs and fasteners are often vital components in the manufacture or construction of a product and with Lee Spring’s stock range of over 19,000 springs and fasteners, customers value a faster route to precise and accurate specification.

Extension springs can be used for various applications and are available in different sizes. Very small extension springs, for example, might be used in small medical devices whereas very large extension springs could be used in off-road machinery brakes.

Extension spring applications include for automotive interiors and exteriors, garage door assemblies, vice-grip pliers, carburettors, trampolines, washing devices, farm machinery and toys.

Lee Spring supplies springs and fasteners to various industry sectors for a wide range of applications. The ISO 9001 Registered Company ensures that the highest quality materials are used to manufacture all the springs Lee Spring supplies and that the springs themselves meet exacting military, aerospace and/or equivalent British and DIN Standards.
