Look at the spring from the end; if the coils move clockwise as they move away from you, it is right-hand wound. If they move counter-clockwise, it is left-hand wound.
Springs - Torsion Component Intelligence
Precision-engineered rotational force components for mechanical assemblies.
What are Springs - Torsion components?
Torsion springs are mechanical components that exert torque or rotary force. Selection is driven by wire diameter, body length, coil count, and the required spring rate. Always verify the leg orientation and end configuration to ensure compatibility with your pivot assembly.
How to Choose Springs - Torsion Components
Selecting the right torsion spring requires balancing physical constraints with the required torque output.
Torque & Spring Rate
Determine the required torque at a specific angle of deflection; ensure the spring rate matches your mechanical load.
Leg Configuration
Choose between straight, hooked, or custom leg ends based on the mounting points of your assembly.
Material & Finish
Select stainless steel for corrosion resistance or music wire for high-stress, non-corrosive applications.
Physical Envelope
Verify the inner and outer diameters to ensure the spring fits over the shaft without binding during deflection.
Direction of Wind
Confirm if the spring is left-hand or right-hand wound; incorrect wind direction will cause the spring to unwind under load.
