custom Double Bodied Tortion Springs by katy spring
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.
