Torsion Springs

PRACTICAL RATIO GUIDE FOR DETERMINING LENGTH AND COMPLEXITY OF ARMS
Economical advantages result from designing torsion springs within the parameters of the design chart. As indicated, the arms of the spring can be made automatically with conventional tooling. Special arm lengths and shapes can be produced at Acme Monaco with special tooling.

Information required for estimating, designing, and manufacturing torsion springs should include a complete end-use description and provision for the effects of friction and arm deflection on the torque. Also O.D., I.D., material, operating temperature, frequency of deflection, and a detail of arm configurations.
