CUSTOM TORSION SPRINGS

A torsion spring is used when there is a need for rotational torque. There are two types of torsion spring designs – single and double, with single torsion springs being the most common type. When a Torsion Spring is assembled over a shaft, it is important to note that, as the spring is rotated in a normal direction, the inner diameter reduces which can cause binding on the shaft along with unnecessary stresses to the spring; it is critical to take into consideration the inside diameter of the spring along with the shaft size it works over. Typically the more malleable spring materials (i.e. Music Wire ASTM A228, Oil Tempered Wire ASTM A229, and 302 Stainless Steel ASTM A313) are used when torsion spring legs require tight bend radii. Generous bend radii in leg configurations, and any bend areas, helps to prevent fracturing in the spring materials used.
