Stainless Steel Tension Springs 92 mm Set of 4 – Light Strain Relief for Shade Sails, Tents and Wire Rope

Prevent wind damage and maintain constant tension

This set of four 92 mm stainless steel tension springs is ideal for absorbing tensile forces and shocks in shade sails, tents, awnings, tarpaulins and wire rope constructions. By placing the spring between the attachment point and the cable, wind gusts are absorbed and tension is maintained more effectively. Also suitable for light wire fencing and garden fences. The tension spring helps keep the wire taut.

The tension springs are made of stainless steel and are suitable for long-term outdoor use. They reduce the risk of tearing, loose fixings and overloading of the construction.

Frequently asked questions:

Why use a tension spring?

A stainless steel tension spring prevents sudden tensile forces from being transferred directly to the fabric, cable, netting, mesh, wire, electric fence wire, rope or attachment point. The spring absorbs shocks and movement, reducing the risk of damage and wear.

Is this stainless steel tension spring suitable for shade sails?

Yes, these stainless steel tension springs are very suitable for shade sails. They help absorb wind loads, keep the fabric under tension and reduce the load on the fixing points and anchor points.

Can I use the tension springs outdoors?

Yes, the tension springs are made of AISI 304 stainless steel and are therefore suitable for long-term outdoor use. The material is corrosion-resistant and withstands moisture and various weather conditions.

Are these tension springs suitable for wire rope?

Yes, these tension springs are suitable for light applications involving wire rope, tension cable, iron wire and similar cable constructions. A 2 mm stainless steel wire rope is often used for shade sails, tents and light cable systems.

What can I use a stainless steel tension spring for?

A stainless steel tension spring is suitable for absorbing tensile forces, shocks and wind loads in a wide range of applications. Common applications include shade sails, tents, awnings, tarpaulins, wire ropes, tension cables, fencing, wire fences, garden mesh, bird nets, garden nets, clotheslines and advertising banners. By distributing the tension more evenly, the tension spring helps prevent damage to fabrics, cables and fixing points. It also helps keep a wire rope, wire or rope under more consistent tension.

What if I expect this tension spring to be too light for my application?

This stainless steel tension spring has a maximum recommended load of approximately 8 kg per spring and is intended for light strain relief. For applications involving higher loads, we also offer a heavier-duty tension spring. When using multiple tension springs, the load can be distributed across several fixing points, depending on the construction.

Can a stainless steel tension spring rust?

AISI 304 stainless steel is corrosion-resistant and suitable for long-term outdoor use. Under normal weather conditions, the tension spring remains highly resistant to moisture and rain.

Is this tension spring suitable for both rope and wire rope?

Yes, the tension spring is suitable for rope, cord, wire rope, tension cable and iron wire. It is intended for light applications where strain relief and constant tension are required.

Is this tension spring suitable for indoor and outdoor use?

Yes, thanks to the stainless steel material, the tension spring is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Can I use multiple tension springs at the same time?

Yes, multiple tension springs are often used for larger constructions such as shade sails or cable systems. This allows tensile forces to be distributed across several fixing points, depending on the design of the construction.

Can I use this tension spring for a bird net or garden net?

Yes, this stainless steel tension spring is suitable for tensioning bird nets, garden nets and other lightweight net constructions. The spring helps keep the net taut and absorbs light movement caused by wind.

Which stainless steel wire rope and stainless steel snap hook do I need?

This stainless steel tension spring is ideal for use with a 4 × 40 mm stainless steel snap hook and stainless steel wire ropes with a diameter of approximately 1.5 to 3 mm. The exact cable diameter depends on the application and the wire rope clips or fixing materials used. A 2 mm stainless steel wire rope is commonly used for shade sails, tents, bird nets and light cable constructions.

How do I install a stainless steel tension spring?

A stainless steel tension spring is installed between the attachment point and the cable, fabric, net or line. Different fixing materials can be used depending on the surface and application.

For a brick or concrete wall, a stainless steel wall anchor provides a secure solution. Do you want to attach the tension spring to wood? Choose a stainless steel wall anchor with wood screw. For various applications, a stainless steel eye plate is a practical and versatile fixing solution. If required, combine the tension spring with a stainless steel snap hook for quick and easy installation.
