The torsion spring is designed to absorb rotational forces and support a controlled rotational movement. It is widely used in machinery, tensioning systems, and mechanical control systems, where precision and load capacity are essential.
The torsion spring, also known as a rotary spring, is a commonly used spring type within our product range. This cylindrically wound spring is designed to absorb and return torsional or rotational forces.
Torsion springs are used in a wide range of applications, from simple clothespins and tensioning systems to complex mechanical and industrial constructions.
In addition to single designs, we also offer double torsion springs for applications that require extra strength or stability. In these cases, the spring rate of a torsion spring is a critical factor, as it indicates how much torque is required to rotate the spring through a specific angle.
In defence applications, torsion springs are used in mechanical systems for aircraft and satellites, for example in actuator mechanisms and control surface systems. In the agricultural sector, they help minimise vibrations and contribute to energy recovery, resulting in lower maintenance costs and extended machine service life. In mechanical engineering, torsion springs compensate for dynamic loads and ensure optimal damping, stability, and precision.
Thanks to advanced manufacturing techniques and high-quality materials, our torsion springs provide custom-made solutions that make systems more efficient, durable, and reliable. For those wondering what a torsion spring is and how it works, De Spiraal offers the technical expertise and advice needed to arrive at the right solution, always fully tailored to your application.
We produce torsion springs from various materials, including spring steel, stainless steel 302/316, phosphor bronze and heat-resistant alloys. The choice of materials depends on the required torque, the application and the fatigue requirements.
A torsion spring is a spring that generates a rotational or torque. Torsion springs store energy when the ends are rotated. They are widely used in valves, doors, switches, roller mechanisms and drive systems.
Yes, we supply both right-handed and left-hand torsion springs, as well as double torsion springs for applications where double-sided force is required.
For standard torsion springs, the delivery time is usually 2 to 5 business days. We deliver custom torsion springs in 2 to 4 weeks, depending on design and numbers. Express delivery and prototyping are also possible in consultation.
Important factors include wire thickness, direction of rotation, winding, arm length, required force and mounting position. Our engineers are happy to help you size your application correctly.
