A variety of different types of springs are used in a huge number of applications, many which are not obvious. Extensions springs are just one of many different types of springs that are used in everyday objects.

The extension springs is wound particularly tightly, meaning that they are loaded in tension. On each end of the spring, there is a hook or a loop, so when something is attached to each end of the spring, tension is applied and the spring attempts to bring the two items back together.

When pressure is applied to either end of the spring, the spring extends with differing tension dependent on the manipulation of the tension of the wind.

= Materials =

Just as with other types of springs, extension springs can be made from a range of different materials including:

* High Carbon Steels
* [https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Stainless_steel_in_construction Stainless Steels]
* Alloy Steels
* Non-Ferrous Alloys
* High-Temperature Alloys

These materials have different properties, so will be chosen according to the requirements of the spring.
