Spring mounting hardware

[ddddarkbull]

I am looking for COTS hardware that can be used to mount 2 extension spring side by side through a steel plate between the 2 springs. The springs are parallel to each other. I hardware should be fixed at the steel plate. I have hard time to find any from internet search. The extension spring has loops at the ends and the mount should allow the spring to spin freely. Would appreciate if someone can provide the source for this hardware. Thanks

A picture might help as would forces and sizes.

The spring is 0.5" diameter. The force is 30 lb max. I don't have picture but just in concept now. The recommendation for the website (company) with this type of product is sufficient for me and I can browse around there. Thanks.

I sketch up something which shows the "pin" that I am looking for. The body can be threaded or close tolerance (or grooved to allow press fit). The material is stainless steel (steel also works but is not as preferable).

Something like this:

As long as the springs are in the grooves and there is tension they should not be going anywhere. Or combine with a sleeve on one side and the snap ring on the other - or two sleeves on each side if the spacing is too much.

Not as cheap, but can be whatever you decide on:

The pin can shift along its axis and we try to avoid that. The tolerance of the shaft is not typically designed for press fit. Not sure if it works. Thanks 3DDave.

Use shaft locking compound. Or add collars.

Also check Misumi. They have a lot of parts that could be adapted for your application. Their web site is nowhere near as easy to navigate as McMaster Carr but they have a lot of options.
