Extension Springs

Penn-Elkco Spring is a leading manufacturer specializing in the production of high-quality Extension Springs. Extension springs are close-coiled, helical springs designed to provide exceptional resistance against tensile loads. Their unique construction sets them apart from compression springs, as the coils are wound tightly together with a built-in initial tension. This initial tension plays a crucial role in regulating the force required to deflect the spring.
Our expertise lies in manufacturing a wide range of extension springs, with a particular focus on those that require loops or hooks. Our offerings include single-loop, double-loop, half-loop, and side-loop designs, as well as offset loops, half loops, swivel hooks, long round ends, threaded plugs, and v-hooks. We cater to diverse industries and applications, ensuring that our extension springs meet the specific requirements and expectations of our clients.
At Penn-Elkco Spring, we prioritize precision, quality, and customer satisfaction in the production of extension springs. Our experienced team of engineers and technicians utilize advanced manufacturing techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure consistent and reliable results. We understand the importance of delivering customized solutions, taking into account factors such as load capacity, deflection range, material specifications, and environmental considerations.
When you choose Penn-Elkco Spring for your extension spring needs, you can trust in our commitment to excellence and expertise in the field. We are dedicated to providing high-performance extension springs that meet the demands of various industries. Rely on our exceptional products to deliver optimal performance, durability, and reliability for your specific applications.

Torsion Springs

At Penn-Elkco Spring, we specialize in custom fabrication of Torsion Springs from high-quality, square, or rectangular wire. Torsion Springs are an essential component in many industries, including the automotive, construction and electronics industries.
Our torsion springs are helically wound and designed to exert torque or force in a radial direction, making them ideal for a wide range of applications. From clothespins to garage doors, our torsion springs are custom-designed to meet your specific needs, whether you need a single or double torsion spring.
Our skilled team can configure the legs of your torsion spring on the level of axial, tangential, radial, or one leg radial over the center and one tangential leg. This ensures that your torsion spring will be perfectly suited to your specific application.
We have extensive experience in providing torsion springs for a wide range of applications, including the drive mechanism of locks, counterbalances, and lever return applications. Our torsion springs come in a range of sizes, from miniature springs used in electronic devices to large torsion springs used in chair control units.
At Penn-Elkco Spring, we use only the highest quality materials and the latest technology to fabricate our torsion springs, ensuring that they meet the highest standards of quality and performance. Our team of skilled professionals is committed to providing our clients with the best possible customer service and satisfaction.

APQP serves as a guide in the development process and also a standard way to share results between suppliers and automotive companies. APQP specifies three phases: Development, Industrialization and Product Launch. Through these phases 23 main topics will be monitored. These 23 topics will be all completed before the production is started. They cover such aspects as: design robustness, design testing and specification compliance, production process design, quality inspection standards, process capability, production capacity, product packaging, product testing and operator training plan, among other items.

Design for Manufacturability is the engineering practice of designing products in such a way that they are easy to manufacture. The concept exists in almost all engineering disciplines but the implementation differs widely depending on the manufacturing technology. DFM describes the process of designing or engineering a product in order to facilitate the manufacturing process in order to reduce its manufacturing costs. DFM will allow potential problems to be fixed in the design phase, which is the least expensive place to address them. Other factors can affect the manufacturability, such as material, the form of the raw material, dimensional tolerances, and secondary processing such as finishing and machining.
