Torsion Springs

Torsion springs are a type of mechanical spring that store and release energy through twisting. Instead of compressing or stretching like other springs, they work by rotating around an axis. When you apply torque (a twisting force), the spring tightens and when you let go, it unwinds back to its original position.

🔧 Key Features:

  • Motion Control: They help control movement by applying rotational force.

  • Customizable Torque: The strength and angle of twist can be tailored.
  • Compact & Powerful: They take up little space but handle strong forces.

🛠️ Common Uses:

  • Garage Doors – for smooth lifting and closing

  • Clothespins & Clipboards – to apply pinching force
  • Automotive – in trunk lids, seat mechanisms, and pedals
  • Industrial Machines – for levers, arms, and rotating parts

Torsion springs are durable, efficient, and essential in many tools and machines you use every day. Whether you need a light twist for a clip or strong torque for a garage door, torsion springs get the job done.
