Custom Designed Torsion Springs

The common function of a Torsion Spring is to twist and then come back to its original position. The most familiar use of a torsion spring is on the old-fashioned clothespin. The rugged torsion spring joins the middle of the classic wood body. As we all have seen, when the user clasps open the clothespin, positions it over the clothes, and releases; the pressure of the torsion spring secures the clothes on the line.

Thousands of other torsion spring applications work much the same way; from safety pins and mousetraps, to clipboards and garage doors. In any application where the need exists for rotational force, a torsion spring is likely to be right for the job.
