Know About Torsion springs

  Torsion springs The use of  torsion spring  is to resist the twisting force or torque. This helically wound spring has arms that rotate about the spring’s central axis. These spring arms are available to get connected to any external component that applies a load to the spring. The load can be applied in the direction to decrease the spring’s diameter. Cloths pin make a good example of torsion spring. The torsion springs are available in varied sizes and leg designs. When there is a need for high torque the effect can be created by the combined use of two joined torsion springs that are spaced adequately and this is called double torsion spring. The double torsion spring has two coil sets – one coil set is coiled in right-hand direction and the other one is coiled in left-hand direction producing a torque that is total of both. For more customization in the torsion spring designs, you will need to consult an engineer. The main use of torsion springs is in swing-down tailgates, garage
