Torsion springs (single or double) are another one of our CNC capabilities. Torsion springs are found where ever there is torque involved in an operation. It works when force is applied to the arm of the spring which in turn shrinks the body diameter, allowing residence to occur. With an infinitive amount of configurations our CNC machines can produce most torsion operations needed in any applicable business.

Winding and Length
While some torsion springs are open-wound, most are close-wound. When a spring is deflected in the direction that will reduce the coil diameter, body length increases. For applications that require minimum hysteresis, springs should be designed with space between adjacent coils to reduce frictional losses.

Load
Torsion springs must be supported at three or more points and they should always be loaded in a direction that causes its body diameter to decrease – stresses are favorable in this direction. If however, the direction of loading tends to increase body diameter, the springs must be stress-relieved in production.

Design of Torsion Springs and End Configurations It’s important to remember that springs loaded to decrease their radius of curvature can operate at higher applied stress levels than bends that increase the radius by loading. Often spring performance is limited due to the sharply bent ends having greater stress than the body. Also be aware that torsion springs are subject to surging and resonance phenomena. As with all Baysal Yay parts, we will custom manufacture any torsion spring to fit your specific needs. Offering competitive pricing, state-of-the-art equipment, and customer satisfaction for over two decades, we’re ready to be part of your team.

Custom Torsion Springs are produced from rectangular or round wire. It is more typical for a manufacturer to use round wire because of the premium cost of rectangular wire. Additionally, torsion springs are normally heat-treated at a low temperature to stabilize the end positions. These types of springs are used to apply a torque or store rotational energy and can also be referred to as helical springs.

At no extra cost to the customer we can provide:
• Technical specifications at your request (i.e. tolerances for critical dimensions, proper size and type of material, etc.) • SPC data on production runs.
• Design support and problem solving to ensure functionality of product at the most effective cost.
