Torsion springs
The table shows the standard dimensions of springs.
The exemplary signs of springs:
VL 5,5 x51x3250 GS (VL - the left-roll spring, VR - the right-roll spring ), d = 5,5 - the diameter of wire, Dw = 51 - inside diameter of spring, L = 3250 - the length of spring in millimetres GS - spring from galvanized wire, NS - spring from phosphate wire

Physical characteristics of springs

- d (wire diameter): This parameter describes the diameter of wire used as material for spring.
- Dd (Shaft): This parameter describes maximal diameter of spring shaft in industrial applications.Tolerance for this parameter is (+-) 2% (indicative).
- Di (internal diameter): Internal diameter of a spring. It can be calculated by subtracting the wire diameter multiplied by 2 from the external diameter of a spring. Internal diameter in torsion springs decreases while the spring is working even up to shaft diameter. Tolerance for this parameter is (+-)2%(indicative).
- De (external diameter): External diameter of a spring. It can be calculated by adding the wire diameter multiplied by 2 to the internal diameter of a spring. External diameter in torsion springs decrease while the spring is working. Tolerance for this parameter is (+-) 2% with tolerance (+-) 0.1 mm
- L0 (Free Length): WARNING: Free Length decrease while spring is working. Tolerance for this parameter is (+-) 2% (indicative).
- Ls (Leg Length): It is the distance from the center axis of the coil body to the end of the torsion springs' leg. Tolerance for this parameter is (+-)2%(indicative).
- An (Maximum angle): Maximum acceptable rotation angle for the spring in degrees. Tolerance for this parameter is (+-) 15 degrees (indicative).
- Fn (Maximum force): Maximum acceptable force that can operate at the end of torsion springs' leg. Tolerance for this parameter is (+-) 15% (indicative).
- Mn (Maximum torque): Maximum acceptable torque (Newton * mm). Tolerance for this parameter is (+-) 15% (indicative).
- R (Spring rate): This parameter determines spring's resistance, while it is working. It is measured in Newton * mm / degree. Tolerance for this parameter is (+-) 15% (indicative).
- A1 & F1 & M1: The following equation calculates the angle as a function of the torque: A1 = M1/R. In order to calculate the torque from the force, we use this equation: M = F*Ls.
- Leg position: There are 4 types of torsion springs' leg positions: 0, 90 ,180 or 270 degrees (see picture above).
- Helix direction: A right-hand-wound spring loads in a counter-clockwise direction. A left-hand-wound spring loads in a clockwise direction. Both types are available in all sizes.
-
Reference Number:
All springs are identified by a unique reference: type . (De * 10) . (d * 100) . (N * 100) . For right-hand-wound springs, the type is a letter "D". For left-hand-wound springs, the type is a letter "G".
The letter "N" stands for the number of coils.
Example: D.028.020.0350 is a right-hand-wound torsion spring with an external diameter of 2.8mm produced from 0.9mm stainless steel wire and having 3.5 coils.
