Durability & High Torque
Torsion springs play a critical role in countless everyday and industrial applications that require a rotational or twisting force. From garage doors and hinges to specialized machinery and control units, torsion springs are relied on for their durability and ability to deliver high torque. These springs come in a wide range of sizes, styles, and materials to meet the unique demands of different products and industries.
With over 90 years of experience, Mid-West Spring and Stamping is a trusted name in the design and production of custom torsion springs. We deliver high-performance, application-specific solutions tailored to your exact needs.
What Is a Torsion Spring?
Torsion springs are mechanical springs that operate by twisting one end along its axis to generate torque. This twisting action allows them to store and release energy efficiently, offering a reliable rotational force. Typically, torsion springs feature a coiled shape with one end fixed in place and the other attached to a rotating component.
These springs are ideal for applications requiring resistance to rotation in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, making them suitable for:
- Garage Doors
- Door Hinges
- Office Chairs
- Timekeeping Devices (Clocks)
