Spring
SAF-Holland

A versatile extension spring designed to deliver controlled tension and return force within SAF-Holland mechanisms. This spring stores energy when extended and releases it to re-center or reposition linked parts, enabling smooth operation of latching, hinge, or tensioning assemblies. While specifics vary by installation, the general geometry supports reliable actuation across a range of loads and temperatures typical of mobile equipment in transit. VMRS 053-007-028 classifies this item within the spring and fastener subassembly family, and category 42521 places it in the general mechanical spring subset used across multiple SAF-Holland applications. The extension capability helps maintain proper alignment during movement, reduces the likelihood of binding or stuck positions, and improves responders’ ability to recover from misalignment after dynamic events such as rough roads or abrupt steering inputs. For maintenance planning, inspect for corrosion, fatigue, or loss of elasticity and replace as part of preventative maintenance to preserve consistent engagement, predictable force profiles, and overall system reliability.
