Torsion springs come in various types and designs, each suited for specific applications due to their unique characteristics. Here are some common types of torsion springs and their uses:
Straight Leg Torsion Springs: These are the most basic type of torsion spring, featuring straight legs and coils wound in a helical shape. They are used in a wide range of applications, including hinges, counterbalance mechanisms, and garage door systems.
Double Torsion Springs: Double torsion springs consist of two sets of coils wound in opposite directions, connected by a central arbor or shaft. They provide torque in both directions and are commonly used in applications such as clothespins, clipboards, and wind-up toys.
Short Hook Torsion Springs: Short hook torsion springs have short, angled ends (hooks) that allow for easy attachment to mounting points. They are often used in applications where space is limited or where precise torque requirements exist, such as in door handles, switches, and automotive systems.
Straight Offset Torsion Springs: Straight offset torsion springs feature straight legs with one leg longer than the other, creating an offset configuration. This design allows for a specific amount of preload or initial tension, making them suitable for applications such as reel and spool mechanisms, tensioning devices, and agricultural equipment.
Hinge Torsion Springs: Hinge torsion springs are designed specifically for use in hinge applications, providing the necessary torque to open and close doors, lids, and gates smoothly. They are commonly found in automotive, industrial, and household applications.
Variable Pitch Torsion Springs: Variable pitch torsion springs have coils with varying pitches along their length, allowing for non-linear torque characteristics. They are used in applications where variable or progressive torque requirements exist, such as in seat recliners, adjustable furniture, and spring-loaded clutches.
Clock Springs: Clock springs, also known as spiral torsion springs, are tightly wound coils typically used to store and release energy in applications such as clocks, watches, and mechanical timers. They provide a constant torque output over a defined range of deflection angles.
Customized Torsion Springs: Torsion springs can also be customized to meet specific application requirements, including unique leg configurations, hook styles, material choices, and torque specifications. Custom torsion springs are used in a wide range of industries, including aerospace, medical devices, automotive, and consumer products.
Each type of torsion spring offers unique characteristics and advantages, making them suitable for a diverse range of applications across various industries.
