Torsion Spring End Types Explained: Fit, Function and Best Practice
Torsion springs store energy by twisting and produce torque in response to rotational movement. The ends of a torsion spring, often called legs, are critical to how the spring mounts and how torque is transferred into the assembly. The shape, angle and length of the ends directly affect fit, performance and service life. Straight Leg Ends Straight legs extend [...]
