Torsion Springs Stainless Steel

SPEC torsion springs are widely useful to store and release energy of rotation or to maintain pressure over a short distance. Our stock selection includes stainless steel torsion springs with four end positions, and music wire springs with three end positions as shown in the drawings.

ADDITIONAL TECHNICAL DATA

SPEC torsion springs are normally used over a supporting mandrel or arbor. Suggested mandrel sizes allow about 10% clearance at the deflections listed. If greater deflections are used, the arbor size should be reduced. Sufficient room (minimum axial space) must be provided in the assembly for the spring to function properly. Spec torsion springs should be used in the direction that winds the coils. In the unwinding direction the maximum load is lower because of residual stresses. Torque values listed are suitable for average conditions. These values can be increased about 20% for static conditions with only slight setting.

To determine the load at any working length use rate proposed deflection.

ENDS

Straight torsion ends are standard.

FINISH

Plain finish is standard. Allow additional time for special finishes.

For inspection purposes, the load should be applied at 1/2 leg length (E). Using other lengths appreciably alters the active length of wire and affects the test results. The reference torque values listed can be translated to the approximate direct load by use of the formula P=T/En where P is the load applied at the new length En. Torque values at intermediate deflections can be calculated proportionally.
