Extension Tension Spring | How to create springs in solidworks | Extension springs solidworks | CADable | CADable tutorials

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create springs in solidworks. Let's discuss the definition of extension springs.

Extension springs absorb and store energy as well as create a resistance to a pulling force. These springs are normally attached at both ends to other components and when these components move apart, the spring tries to bring them back together again.

Here you can notice one important thing i.e. both hooks are perpendicular to each other. We can also create using project curve but I have found an easy way using 3d sketch. I hope you like it. We will learn the following features and commands:

1) Helix
2) Sweep Boss
3) 3d Sketch
4) Chamfer
5) Appearance
