    Double Bodied Torsion Springs

    Components and Structure

    • Two Torsion Springs:

      A torsion spring is a type of spring that works by twisting its ends along its axis. It stores mechanical energy when twisted.

      Each torsion spring in a doubled body setup has its own coils and arms (the ends that extend out from the coils).

    • Connecting Section:

      The two springs are connected, usually by a central wire or another mechanism that ensures they work in unison.

      This connection allows the torque applied to one spring to be transferred and distributed to both springs.

    Functionality

    • Torque Distribution:

      When a force is applied to the arms of the torsion spring, it causes the springs to twist. In a doubled body torsion spring, this force is distributed between the two springs.

      This distribution helps in managing higher loads and reduces the stress on individual springs, increasing the overall lifespan of the spring system.

    • Increased Range of Motion:

      By having two springs, the system can accommodate a greater range of angular motion. This is beneficial in applications where large rotational movements are required.

      The design can also help in achieving more precise control over the movement and force exertion.

    • Redundancy and Reliability:

      The double body design provides a level of redundancy. If one spring fails or loses its effectiveness, the second spring can still function, providing a safety margin in critical applications.

    ordering custom double bodied torsion springs

    Double bodied torsion springs should be designed to coil out from the center rather than in from the ends so that they can be rotated in angular deflection. Double body torsion springs are found in automobile door systems and are commonly used as couplings between concentric shafts such as motor and pump assemblies.

    Applications include:

    • Major household appliances
    • Medical devices
    • Military devices
    • Aerospace devices
    • And more

    • Specify a force with a tolerance (+/- 10 percent) at an exact compressed height rather than a definite deflection. Spring rate is the difference of two forces divided by the amount of deflection between those forces.
    • Make Katy Spring aware of unusual conditions such as temperature, corrosive environments, impact force, and fatigue life.
    • Specify the mandatory requirements only to Katy Spring, and leave the exact wire size and number of coils to the discretion of Katy Spring whenever possible.

    Bellow Spring

    A bellow spring is a type of mechanical device designed to absorb, store, and release energy through the use of flexible, accordion-like structures known as bellows. These springs combine the properties of a bellow and a spring to provide a versatile solution for various applications requiring movement, flexibility, and pressure control.

    Barrel Springs

    A barrel spring is a specific type of compression spring that features a bulging middle and tapered ends. Its unique shape can be visualized as a barrel, hence the name.

    Tubing Forms

    A tubing form is a type of helical spring made from coiled tubing, rather than solid wire. This design provides a combination of flexibility, strength, and the ability to handle internal media flow. Tubing forms are used in applications where traditional solid wire springs would not be sufficient due to the need for internal passageways or additional flexibility.
