The TO-5010LS torsion spring from Century Spring Corp. features a body diameter of 3.20 inches and an outside diameter of 4.06 inches. It has a leg length of 0.50 inches and is designed to provide a torque of 5.11 in-lbs with a spring rate of 0.00043 in-lbs/degree. The suggested maximum deflection for this spring is 10 degrees, with a recommended maximum load of 232 in-lbs. This spring is left-wound and made from stainless steel, offering durability for various applications. The wire diameter is 0.017 inches, and it is suitable for use with a mandrel diameter of approximately 2.55 inches. The TO-5010LS is ideal for applications requiring reliable angular energy storage and release.
Century Spring offers a selection of torsion springs with legs of equal length oriented at varying unloaded angles. Torsion springs can store and release angular energy or statically hold a mechanism in place by deflecting the legs about the body centerline axis. They offer resistance to twist or rotationally applied force. A spring of this type will reduce in body diameter and increase slightly in body length when deflected in the preferred direction of the fabricated wind. Depending on the application, torsion springs can be designed to work in a clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation, thus determining the direction of the wind. Common torsion springs are those used in a clothes pin or a garage door.
Note: If the spring needed for your application cannot be found in our inventory, we can fabricate it for you. Often, there is no cost increase for this service because of low-quantity requirements. Call our Custom Spring department at 800-237-5225 or e-mail us at cust@centuryspring.c
