The TO-5022L torsion spring from Century Spring Corp. features an inside diameter of 0.144 inches and an outside diameter of 0.186 inches. It has a leg length of 0.75 inches and a body length of 0.18 inches. This spring is designed to provide a torque of 156 in-lbs and has a suggested maximum deflection of 7 degrees. The wire diameter is 0.021 inches, and it is constructed from music wire material. The spring is wound in a left-hand direction and is suitable for applications requiring resistance to rotational forces. It is important to consider the direction of the wind when selecting this spring for specific applications.
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
