More About Torsion Springs
Wire Size: 0.025mm (.005”) upwards.
Material: spring steel, stainless steel, silicon-chrome, high carbon, beryllium-copper, inconnel, galvanised wire, mild steel, phosphor bronze, brass.
Ends: there is a large variety of end types that can be put on a torsion spring including, machine loops, extended loops, double loops, tapers, threaded inserts, hooks or eyes at various positions, extended hooks.
Finishes: zinc/colour passivates, black zinc nickel, electroless nickel, black oxidise, copper plating, tin, chrome acid passivate, colour dyeing, silver.
Quantities: we can produce large quantities efficiently using modern computer-aided machines but we have the facility to make small quantities of prototypes and samples to specifications
What Are Torsion Springs?
Torsion springs are operated by exerting a rotary force, also called torque. These helical springs have ends, which attach to other components and the rotation (twisting) of these parts causes the springs to exert a force that enables them to return to their original positions. The helical spring stores mechanical energy that translates into a force to counter twist around a centre point. This torque is proportional to the angle of the turn.
How Do Torsion Springs Work?
These springs have legs which take on a significant role within their mechanism. A torsion spring manufacturer can choose to have different types of legs, such as axial, tangential or fixed-assembled and can be single or double-coiled (also known as a double torsion spring) depending on specifications and requirements
