Torsion Spring Manufacturers

Industrial springs are widely used and form a crucial part in the functioning of many devices, equipment, and machinery. Hence, their quality is crucial for the proper and safe functioning of the equipment these springs are a part of. Any compromise in the product quality can prove to be costly and result in the subsequent failure of the gadget, device, or machinery where these springs are used.

Torsion spring manufacturers in India

All kinds of industrial springs are manufactured on a large scale in India. If you’re looking for the best torsion spring manufacturer then you should check the industrial spring product range of the

 

We keep stock of all forms of industrial springs and even prepare customized spring designs based on our customer’s requirements. Our industrial spring produces torsion springs and other highly used spring forms like – disc bar springs, tension springs, compression springs, extension springs, etc.

What are torsion springs and how they work?

Torsion springs are helical shaped and they exert a torque or rotatory force. The ends of torsion spring are joined to other components and when these components try to move around the center of the spring then the spring tries to bring them back in the original position.

Mostly the torsion spring is subjected to bending stress rather than torsional stress. 

This spring is designed to resist when a force is rotationally applied to the spring. These springs get twisted when the outside force is applied to them, unlike other springs that are either extended or compressed.

Hence, the spring rotates through an angle depending upon the applied force. The angular energy is stored and released by the spring.

Depending on the usage of a torsion spring, it can be designed to operate both clockwise and anticlockwise and this determines the direction in which they are coiled.

Things to consider

Torsion spring performs best after being supported by a rod. This rod is known as a mandrel. The engineer must consider the effects of friction and also the arm deflection on the torque when he’s working on the design of a torsion spring. 

Few necessary specifications of a torsion spring that you should know and pay attention to the details of the spring before considering its usage are mentioned bellow -

1: There are 3 available forms of torsion springs –

• Up to 20 mm wire diameter and made of spring wire. 
• 0.15 to 60 mm wire diameter and made up of stainless steel.
• 0.15 to 60 mm wire diameter and made of stainless steel.

2: You will need to take care of a few important parameters to freely operating a torsion spring. Take note of the length of spring, wire diameter, inner diameter, outer diameter, etc. you will need to know the inner diameter of the spring if it has to slip over a mandrel with sufficient clearance to operate freely.

3: The outer diameter needs to be mentioned when the torsion spring is needed to fit into a circular hole. The spring coil length mentioned on a spring is the length of the spring itself. 

4:Torsion springs are designed in all sizes – miniature ones are used in electronic devices whereas large ones are used in chair control units. 

5:Winding up this spring reduces the diameter of the torsion spring while increasing their body length. 

Applications of a torsion spring

Torsion springs

• Clothes-pins.
• Swing-down tailgates.
• Garage doors.
• Clipboards. 
• Hinges.
• Counterbalances.
• Lever returns.
• Electronic devices.
• Chair control units.

In the end

Customized designs of torsion springs are made like – the double torsion springs consist of two sets of coils, one set is coiled in right-hand direction and the second set is coiled in left-hand direction. These sections are designed separately. The total torque in this customization is the total of two. 

Likewise, many customizations in torsion spring design, size, and other details can be made after consulting with the spring design engineer to fit the customer’s needs.
