Torsion Spring Design Alternatives Guide

The following form will help you solving basic torsion spring design challenges.

Condition to Satisfy	Solution
To increase load To decrease load To decrease body length To increase body length To decrease O.D. To increase I.D. Load correct at max travel but too low at less travel Load correct at max travel but too high at less travel To decrease actual stress	Increase deflection rate M/360deg Decrease number of coils ‘N’ Decrease mean dia ‘D’ Increase wire dia‘d’ Decrease deflection rate M/360deg Decrease amount of angular deflection 'Θ' Increase amount of angular deflection 'Θ' Increase number of coils ‘N’ Increase mean dia ‘D’ Decrease wire dia‘d’ Decrease max load ‘F’
