General Information required

When ordering Torsion springs it’s always best to provide a sample or a drawing. The minimum information needed to quote is listed below:

Type of material (can be discussed or described)
Wire diameter
Outer diameter
Total coils (TC)
Direction of wind
Type of ends (a drawing or sample is most beneficial if your spring has bends in the tails/legs)
Body length (important if there is spacing between the coils)

Definition

Torsion springs are helical coil springs that exert a torque or rotary force. They can be coiled either left hand wind, right hand wind or in the case of double torsions, both hand winds.

Spring Action

The deflection/travel of torsion springs are determined by the diameter of the body, size of the wire and the number of coils.

When torque is applied to a torsion spring, the body length grows (because the spring is winding up and increasing body coil count) and the body diameter decreases.

Torsion springs should always wind up during operation and never unwind from the free/relaxed position and should be supported over a rod/mandrel whenever possible.
