Torsion Springs

Torsion Springs are utilized in products that require a resistance to or application of torque. Once a load is applied to the legs, coil spring deflect and elongate resulting in an angular return force. Torsion springs are closely wound with various leg configurations, such as straight legs and multiple leg bends. The direction of the wind, clockwise or counter-clockwise, is determined by the application.

Some important factors to consider when offering torsion springs include:

(1)Material Type
(2)Wire diameter
(3)Outside/ Inside diameter
(4) Frequency of rotation
(5) Torque
(6) Winding direction     Right hand (counter-clock wise)  or  Left hand (clockwise)
(7)Surface treatment
(8)Number of coils
(9)Length of leg #1an #2
(10) Range of operating temperature
(11) Maximum wound position in number of turns or degrees from free position
(12) Length of leg ends
(13) Relationship of legs
The  relative relationship between the legs of torsion springs at the tangent point in the free position measured in degrees.
