Torsion springs

Torsion springs exert a radial force. Their “legs” are rotated thus winding/twisting the springs coils.

Torsion springs work in many applications. Their function is to exert a radial force. Meaning this spring doesn’t travel in a linear/vertical/horizontal manner, but in a rotational/curved manner. They are used in these sort of applications because that is exactly how these applications work.

The torque and deflection a torsion spring is able to provide is based on its physical dimensions. Given the number of coils and the tightness of such coils, your spring has a spring rate per degree. Using the spring rate per degree you’re able to calculate how much torque you will need at a certain distance traveled as well as how much travel your spring will achieve under a certain torque..
