Hook type
Category: Ends & configuration
The shape of an extension spring's ends: machine hook, crossover hook, side hook or extended hook.
Hooks transfer load from the mechanism into the spring. The machine hook (a half-loop over the body) is the most common; crossover and side hooks change where the force is applied and how stress is distributed.
