Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Torsion Spring

Definition
Torsion springs are helical components designed to exert torque or rotary force when twisted. They are used in applications requiring rotational force, such as hinges, door mechanisms, and automotive components. These springs are specified by wire diameter, coil diameter, number of coils, free angle, and spring rate. Grades are distinguished by material quality, surface finish, and precision of dimensions, with higher grades offering tighter tolerances and better fatigue life. Available materials include spring steel (EN 10270-1: DH, SH), stainless steel (AISI 302, 316, 17-7 PH), music wire (ASTM A228), oil-tempered wire (ASTM A229), chrome-vanadium steel (ASTM A231), and chrome-silicon steel (ASTM A401). Typical parameters include wire diameter from 0.1 to 12 mm, outer coil diameter from 1 to 80 mm, free length from 2 to 200 mm, total coils from 3 to 20, spring rate from 0.01 to 50 N·mm/deg, maximum deflection up to 360 degrees, and operating temperature range from -40 to 150°C. Tolerances on wire diameter range from ±0.01 to ±0.05 mm, and free angle tolerance from ±2 to ±5 degrees. Surface finishes include shot peened, oiled, or coated. Fatigue life ranges from 10,000 to 1,000,000 cycles. End configurations can be straight, offset, or special. Relevant standards include ISO 10243, DIN 2088, EN 10270-1, ASTM A228, A229, A231, A401, and GB/T 1239.2. Verification of spring rate and torque is performed per ISO 26909. Always verify model-specific values and standards with the legal manufacturer or supplier.
Working Principle
Torsion springs work by resisting angular deflection. When a torque is applied to the ends, the spring twists, storing potential energy. The spring rate (torque per degree) is determined by material properties, wire diameter, coil diameter, and number of active coils. The spring exerts a restoring torque proportional to the angular deflection, following Hooke's law for torsion. The maximum deflection is limited to prevent permanent set. The spring's ends are typically attached to components, and the torque is transmitted through the legs. The spring rate is constant within the elastic range, and the energy is released when the torque is removed.
