Overview Of Torsion Springs

Torsion springs belong to coil springs. The end of the torsion spring is fixed to other components, and when other components rotate around the center of the spring, the spring pulls them back to their initial position, generating torque or rotational force. A torsion spring can store and release angular energy or statically fix a device by rotating the force arm around the central axis of the spring body. This type of spring is usually tightly packed, but there is a pitch between the coils to reduce friction. They create resistance to rotation or external forces. According to the application requirements, design the rotation direction of the torsion spring (clockwise or counterclockwise) to determine the rotation direction of the spring. Each coil can be tightly or separately wrapped, capable of withstanding torsional loads (at right angles to the spring axis). The end of the spring can be wound into a hook or straight torsion arm.
