Torsion Springs

Charu Integrity Works offers Torsion Springs. Torsion springs are designed to offer resistance to externally applied torque. The ends of a torsion spring are rotated in an angular deflection, Although the name implies otherwise, a torsion spring is subjected to bending stress rather than torsional stress. A torsion spring performs at its best when supported by a rod or tube. This type of spring is normally close wound but can have pitch to reduce friction between the coils. Torsion springs can be designed to operate in either a clockwise or a counter-clockwise direction but whenever possible they should be designed so that the body diameter decreases when a load is applied to the spring. Arbor diameter must allow for this reduction to avoid interference during loading. Consideration must also be given to the fact that the torsion springs body length will increase when loaded.

The double-bodied torsion spring is a single spring but consists of two sets of coils, one set coiled right hand and one set coiled left hand. The two sets of coils will be connected, usually with an unwound section between the coils and work in parallel.
