Torsion spring calculator
Calculate the angular rate (per degree), maximum safe torque and maximum angle of torsion springs with legs.
Formel
M₃₆₀ is the torque for one full turn. Divided by 360 it becomes the angular rate per degree, the form the calculator displays.

Rechenbeispiel
Berechnet mit derselben Engine wie der Rechner oben, unter Verwendung der Startwerte des Formulars.
Torsion springs store energy through rotation. The angular rate depends on the material's elastic modulus and the coil geometry.
Set the leg length and angle and see the available torque.
Always load the spring in the direction that winds the coil tighter: it seats the coils on the arbor and allows higher working stresses.
So messen Sie Ihre Feder
- Measure the wire diameter (d) on the body of the spring.
- Measure the outer diameter (OD) across the coils.
- Count the number of body coils.
- Measure the leg length from the body to the tip.
- Measure the free angle between the legs and note the wind direction (right or left hand). Torsion springs should be loaded in the direction that winds the coil tighter.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
What units is a torsion spring rate measured in?
Torque per angle: lbf·in per degree in imperial or N·mm per degree in metric. Catalogs also quote the torque per full turn (360 degrees).
Does the direction of rotation matter?
Yes. The spring should be loaded in the wind direction, closing the coil. Loading it the other way opens the coils and drastically reduces the allowable load.
What changes the rate of a torsion spring?
Wire diameter (fourth power), mean diameter, number of coils and the material's elastic modulus. More coils or a larger diameter make the spring softer.
