Here is where my spring index plays a huge part in Torsion spring Stress. To figure out spring index get OD – 1 WD = mean diameter (MD). MD divided by WD = Spring index.
May include using a torsion spring for its radial force as well as the benefit of having a built in compression spring. Your torsion spring/compression spring can now do the function of two springs, giving you linear force (compression spring) as well as torsional force (torsion spring). This definitely expands your possibilities for using torsion springs. If you would like more help on the spring pitch, Please visit the Compression Spring Design Page.
If you are wondering where the best place is to buy torsion springs….you are already there.

We send your RFQ out to all the suppliers that specialize in the type of spring you are looking for and you receive multiple quotes, that get you you the most competitive price. Once you have rece
To get more force you can have a smaller OD, less coils, thicker wire, or more travel. To get less force you can have a larger OD, more coils, thinner wire, or less travel
Open Ends Ground Square: are ends where there is no reduction in pitch at the end coils yet are ground square.
P1, P2 = spring force at heights h1 and h2, respectively.
The best recommendation here is to understand what is wanted from the compression springs while they’re in service. A spring design engineer can help develop the optimum compression spring design for the appropriate conditions. Ask yourself a few simple questions before calling a custom spring manufacturer so they may better assist you.
