The TO-1007 torsion spring from Century Spring Corp. features an inside diameter of 0.562 inches and an outside diameter of 0.620 inches. It has a leg length of 1.4 inches and a body length of 3.14 inches. The spring is designed to provide a torque of 0.00321 in-lbs and has a spring rate of 0.363 in-lbs/degree. It is suitable for applications requiring a maximum deflection of 65 degrees and can handle a suggested maximum load of 2.875 in-lbs. The spring is made from music wire and is wound in a left-hand direction. This product is ideal for applications that require 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
