The Role Of Metal Springs in Gymnastics Eqipment
Springs are the muscles that make performance-quality gymnastics equipment work. They’re the hard-working components that enable the sprung floors, bars, and strengthening equipment to make your athletes perform at the highest level.
The quality and condition of gymnastics equipment springs can impact the performance and safety of your equipment.

How Metal Springs Work In Gymnastics Equipment
Hooke's Law says it all. It states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring is proportional to the distance it is stretched or compressed. When your kid jumps on a sprung floor for that Bile-worthy move — WHEE! — the weight and the force of their impact on the mat stretches the springs. As they stretch, they (very briefly) store potential energy. When the springs contract, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which pushes your kid back up into the air for gravity defying feats of athleticism.
Key Characteristics of High-Quality Sporting Goods Springs
Length: The length of the spring affects the bounce quality. Longer springs generally provide a softer, more controlled bounce, while shorter springs offer a more rapid and higher bounce.
Coil Thickness: Thicker coils are generally more durable and provide more resistance, resulting in a stronger bounce.
Material: High-quality springs are typically made of galvanized steel, which is resistant to rust and corrosion, ensuring a longer lifespan.
Number of Coils: The number of coils can affect the tension and elasticity of the spring. More coils can mean a better bounce but may also require more force to stretch.
Choosing the Right Springs & Spring Manufacturer
When manufacturing gymnastics equipment or trampolines, high-quality springs are important.
Check the Length: Ensure the springs are the correct length for your equipment. Using springs that are too long or too short can affect performance and safety.
Quality Materials: Opt for springs made of galvanized or stainless steel for longevity and resistance to the elements. Coated springs minimize noise and wear-and-tear from friction.
Consider the Bounce: Think about who will be using the equipment. Younger children might benefit from a softer bounce (longer springs), while older kids and adults might prefer a firmer, higher bounce (shorter springs). Note we can also produce springs to regulation or competition standards.
When choosing a reputable industrial spring manufacturer or commercial sporting equipment spring manufacturer, look no further than your friends at Tennessee Spring & Metal.
