The TO-1049 torsion spring from Century Spring Corp. features an inside diameter of 0.140 inches and an outside diameter of 0.264 inches. It has a leg length of 1.0 inch and a body length of 0.640 inches. This spring is designed to operate with a maximum deflection of 25 degrees and can handle a suggested maximum load of 48 in-lbs. The wire diameter is 0.067 inches, and it is made from hard-drawn material with a zinc finish. The spring is wound in a left-hand direction and has 12 coils. This product is suitable for applications requiring reliable angular energy storage and release, making it a viable option for various mechanical systems.
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
