Torsion Spring – Photo Gallery
There are single-bodied torsion springs and double-bodied torsion springs. Double Torsion Springs are coiled out from the center rather than in from the ends, allowing both ends of the double spring to work together and provide unique torque for many different types of applications. See figure of double torsion spring design below.
Some of the more common end configurations for helical torsion springs are shown below in SMI’s figure of Common Helical Torsion Spring End Configurations.
See the diagram for Specifying Load and Deflection Requirements for Torsion Springs in our Technical Resources.
Torsion Spring Wire Diameter
We manufacture single and double helical torsion springs with a wire diameter of 0.013” up to 0.187” (0.33 mm to 4.75 mm).
Torsion Spring Material Type
The most common material types for torsion springs are music wire, stainless steel, and hard drawn. We use all types of material, such as those listed in the Properties of Materials chart in our Technical Resources section.
Torsion Spring Industries and Applications
We make single and double helical torsion springs that go into many applications for different industries that require high quality wire forms with tight tolerances in short lead times. See our Industries Served list.
Torsion Spring Production
We use technologically advanced CNC formers to manufacture helical torsion springs. We take care of any Finishing required, such as stress relieve, shot peen, plate, passivate and dye or paint. We can also assemble the torsion spring into your mating part, or special pack them to prevent tangling. If you wish to test your design with a Rapid Prototype, this is one of the Engineering Services that we offer. Our entire factory is managed to meet the ISO 9001 standard.
