The TO-5123L torsion spring from Century Spring Corp. features an inside diameter of 0.402 inches and an outside diameter of 0.472 inches. It has a body length of 1.3 inches and a leg length of 0.40 inches. This spring is designed to operate with a maximum suggested deflection of 9.5 degrees and can handle a maximum load of 315 in-lbs. The spring is available in both left-hand and right-hand wound configurations, with the left-hand version being specified here. The wire diameter is 0.035 inches, and it is made from music wire material. The spring's construction allows it to effectively store and release angular energy, making it suitable for various applications requiring rotational force resistance.
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
