Match four key dimensions from the original or the assembly drawing: strip width, strip thickness, coil length, and the required torque or return force at working extension. Coil length governs available travel, so a spring that is too short will run out of force before the mechanism reaches full stroke. If the application involves moisture, chemicals, or outdoor exposure, specify a stainless grade rather than carbon steel. Where the original part is to hand, calipers across the strip and the free-coil diameter will give you the numbers needed to cross-reference a replacement.

The large majority of power springs are hardened and tempered carbon steel strip, which offers good fatigue resistance and consistent return force for general-purpose use in dry or protected environments. Stainless steel grades are the practical choice where the spring is exposed to water ingress, cleaning chemicals, food-processing atmospheres, or salt air. Stainless costs more and the force characteristics can differ slightly from an equivalent carbon steel spring, so confirm the torque specification when substituting one material for the other.

Yes. Trade quantities are available, and pricing is best discussed directly with the team rather than based on single-unit list prices. Contact PartsForMachines via WhatsApp 07754288583 or email [email protected] with your strip dimensions, coil length, force requirement, and approximate volume. For fitment queries before you order, use Ask Simon on the relevant product page for an instant fitment check.

Failure usually occurs at the tangs rather than mid-strip: the inner tang anchors to the arbor and the outer tang locates in the housing, and both are stress concentration points under repeated cycling. Before ordering, inspect the tang geometry of the original and confirm the replacement matches, as tang profiles vary between manufacturers. Also check whether the housing or arbor shows wear, since a worn location point will shorten the new spring's service life. Strip fracture mid-coil generally points to fatigue from overextension rather than a manufacturing defect.

Power Spring

FilterFilters
View as Grid List

Power springs are flat-coiled constant-force springs wound from strip steel, used wherever a mechanism needs a controlled retract, rewind, or return under sustained load. The tape measure is the application most trade buyers recognise: the coiled blade is pulled out against the spring's resistance and snaps back cleanly when released. The same principle drives cable retractors, hose reels, seat-belt retractors, counterbalance arms, and a wide range of light-industrial assemblies where a consistent return force is needed across a long stroke.

Selecting a power spring comes down to four attributes: strip width, strip thickness, coil length (which determines the available travel), and the torque or force the spring delivers at working extension. Material matters too, and the search pattern "tape measure power spring material" reflects a common trade question: most power springs are hardened and tempered carbon steel, though stainless grades exist for wet or corrosive environments. PartsForMachines lists power springs as an Authorised Distributor and Seller, and each product page carries the specification data needed to match a spring to its application. Metrol is the manufacturer behind these power spring.

For replacement work, the original spring's dimensions should be measured before ordering: strip width and thickness are straightforward to caliper, and the free-coil diameter gives a reliable guide to the available travel. Springs in retractor assemblies often fatigue at the inner or outer tang before the strip itself fails, so checking tang condition at service is a sound habit.
