Single torsion spring
Single torsion spring is a type of mechanical spring whose working principle is to apply torque or torsional force when twisted along the axis. The spring is made of a metal wire wound into a helix. One end of the metal wire is connected to a fixed point, and the other end is connected to a rotational point. When the rotational point rotates, the spring stores energy through torsion, and when the force is released, the spring will unwindloosen and release the stored energy.
Single torsion springs are commonly used in various applications such as door hinges, garage doors, levers, and various types of machinery. They can also be used in toys, clocks, and other consumer goods that require rotational force. The size range varies from micro torsion springs for electronic devices to large torsion springs for chair control units. Torsion springs can be made from various materials including steel, stainless steel, and other alloys, depending on specific application requirements. They are valued for their ability to provide high torque as well as their durability and long lifespan.
The parameters of single torsion springs include:
- Spring outer diameter
- Wire diameter used to make the spring
- Total number of coils – The number of active coils plus the number of end coils
- Leg length – The length of the non-helical spring end
- Deflection angle – The movement of the spring end when an external load is applied or removed
- Wind direction – Left wind or right wind
- Material – Torsion springs are made of piano wire, hard drawn rod, stainless steel, phosphor bronze, etc.
Single torsion spring are widely used in everyday and industrial items that require rotational force, such as garage doors, door hinges, and various types of mechanical equipment. Torsion springs provide high torque and can be manufactured in a variety of sizes and metals depending on the final application.
Torsion springs are designed in a spiral shape with one end of the line connected to a fixed point and the other end to a rotation point. They can be used clockwise and counterclockwise to resist twisting and rotation.
Torsion springs can be manufactured in a variety of materials and sizes for a variety of applications. Single torsion springs can therefore be configured with different legs and springs, including:
- Straight torsion spring
- Straight offset torsion spring
- Hinge torsion spring
- Short hook end
- Hook end design
- Double torsion spring
The single torsion spring can also be customized to different foot angles, foot lengths, foot styles and spring ends according to the design specifications. Known for its versatility, durability and long service life, single torsion spring are an affordable choice for customers.
A single torsion spring is a common type of spring characterized by twisting to store and release energy.
- In some small mechanical devices, single-torsion springs are often used to control the rotating motion of components.
- On the axle of some small toy cars, the single torsion spring can provide a certain torque, so that the wheel can maintain a certain elasticity and return ability when it is moving.
- In some locks, the single twist spring also plays an important role, which can help the lock core return to the initial position after operation.
- In industrial production, single-torsion springs are also widely used in various equipment and tools to achieve specific mechanical functions.
