Extension Springs
The premium quality custom extension springs we produce at Jackson Spring Mfg. Co. Inc. are manufactured using SAE and ASTM grade stainless steel, copper, and alloy steel wire between 0.020” and 0.163” in diameter. Spring hooks can be formed in a number of shapes including extended hooks, side hooks, center hooks, and other custom configurations. We operate a wide array of spring manufacturing systems that allow us to produce a range of custom springs in many types and sizes with right or left helix directions. Multiple surface treatments such as zinc, black oxide, color coatings, and grinding can be applied to meet corrosion resistance and aesthetic requirements.
Our team is dedicated to providing the best customer service in the industry and is capable of economically producing precision springs to customer prints. We can efficiently manufacture a range of part volumes and offer JIT delivery to ensure that customers receive parts when they are needed without incurring excess inventory costs. Specific lead times are quoted on a job by job basis, with typical turnaround times averaging 3 to 4 weeks.
