The TO-5162L torsion spring from Century Spring Corp. features a left-hand wind configuration and is designed to store and release angular energy. It has an inside diameter of 0.523 inches and an outside diameter of 0.619 inches, with a body length of 2.0 inches. The spring's wire diameter is 0.048 inches, and it is made from music wire material. The spring is rated for a maximum load of 157 in-lbs and a suggested maximum deflection of 5 degrees. This spring is suitable for applications requiring resistance to twisting forces and can be used in various mechanical assemblies where precise angular positioning is necessary. The suggested mandrel diameter for this spring is 0.41 inches.
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
