Heavy duty torsion springs
Heavy duty torsion springs are also known as large torsion springs, and these springs have larger wire diameters and other sizes, so they can carry heavy loads. Even if the spring is not too tight or over-pressured, its large size allows you to apply a large amount of torque to it. If you cannot achieve torque with one big torsion springs, you can also use multiple springs in the same application to work with it, just like trailer ramp springs.
Heavy-duty springs are large linear diameter springs designed for large heavy-duty industrial applications, often used in demanding applications where ordinary small springs fail under strain. They come in various types, including heavy-duty compression springs, tension springs, and torsion springs. Each spring is tailored to specific heavy duty requirements and applications. Heavy-duty springs are characterized by large wire diameter, high strength, and strong durability, which can ensure that the spring will not deform or fail when handling heavy tasks. These springs are essential in industries ranging from construction to agriculture to ensure the safe and efficient operation of heavy machinery and equipment.
Heavy duty torsion springs are commonly used in applications such as raising and lowering doors, hatches, or LIDS. They provide considerable torque when a load is applied to the legs. These springs work by twisting and applying a rotational force, which is critical for applications that require controlled rotational motion.
Here are the specific applications:
- Lift doors: In trucks and multi-purpose trailers, lift doors use torsion springs to assist in lifting heavy doors, heavy duty torsion springs help reduce the weight of the door or lid and the force required by the user, and reduce the risk of injury to the user, thus making the door or lid lighter.
- Hatches and covers: In industrial and commercial environments, heavy duty torsion springs are used in hatches and covers to control opening and closing. They are able to reduce the weight of the lid by absorbing weight and ensure smooth and reliable operation.
- Garage doors: Heavy-duty torsion springs are an essential part of the garage door system to balance the weight of the garage door. They provide the necessary torque to raise the garage door smoothly and safely.
- Aerospace applications: In aircraft and spacecraft, heavy duty torsion springs are used to control the movement of air wing mechanisms and provide stability to air wings. These heavy duty torsion springs are designed to withstand extreme conditions and provide reliable performance.
Our heavy duty torsion springs are made of large-sized wire, which allows for extreme torque when a load/pressure is applied to the legs of the torsion spring. We can customize it according to your actual needs, and the end of each torsion spring can also be customized according to the desired application.
Big torsion springs must always be loaded in the direction of the spring wire to keep the spring body closed. Most applications require a right-handed torsion spring on one side and a left-handed torsion spring on the other. However, in some cases, these two springs can be combined into a double torsion spring, which has a right-handed and a left-handed coil spring body connected to each other.
With large torsion springs, we are able to offer a wide range of torsion spring designs and sizes, from small to large torsion springs, all contained in one torsion spring catalog.
Due to the characteristics of the heavy duty torsion springs design, they can be used in applications that work through clockwise or counterclockwise motion.
As a specialist supplier of heavy duty torsion springs, our team can tailor the torque to meet the required application.
