Axial Torsion Spring ke Eng?
U hloka seliba se sothehang, empa lentsoe "axial torsion spring" e ferekanya. You're unsure if it's a special component or just another name for a standard torsion spring.
Axial torsion spring ke mohloli o tloaelehileng oa helical o etselitsoeng ho fana ka matla a ho potoloha, or torque. E sebetsa ho potoloha shaft kapa arbor, with the force being applied in a circular path perpendicular to the spring's central axis. Ke mofuta o tloaelehileng haholo oa selemo sa torsion[^ 1].

Ba nthomile moralo oa bona, and I could see right away they were trying to solve a rotational problem with a linear solution. We replaced it with a small axial torsion spring[^3] fitted around the hinge pin. The lid then opened with a smooth, controlled motion. It was a perfect example of how choosing the right type of force—rotational instead of linear—completely changed the user's experience.
Force Direction Defines the Spring
The name of a spring tells you how it is designed to be used. Understanding this basic difference is the most important part of spring selection.
- Torrion Springs (Twisting Force): These springs are loaded by rotating their legs. This creates a bending stress in the wire, which generates a restoring torque. Think of a classic mousetrap. The coiled spring doesn't compress; it twists to power the trap.
- Litšoantšo tsa Khothatso (Pushing Force): Liliba tsena li etselitsoe ho hatelloa. Ba boloka matla ha ba hatelloa mme ba a lokolla ka ho sutumelletsa morao, ho hanana le matla a hatellang. A pogo stick or a vehicle's suspension uses compression springs.

U hloka ho odara seliba se tloaelehileng sa torsion, but you're not sure which details are critical. Providing incomplete information can lead to a spring that doesn't work or fails quickly.

We had to remake the entire batch with a left-hand wind. It was a costly lesson in the importance of one small detail on a drawing.
Details That Determine Performance
A selemo sa torsion[^ 1]'s success depends on getting three key areas right.
- Tataiso ea Moea: A torsion spring should always be used in the direction that winds the coil tighter. Loading it in the opposite direction will cause it to uncoil, permanently deform, and lose its force. You must specify if you need a right-hand (clockwise) or left-hand (counter-clockwise) moea.
- Tlhophiso ea Leoto: The legs are how the spring transfers its torque to your parts. Their length, Sebopeho sa sebopeho, and the angle between them (the free angle) must be precisely defined so they can be mounted correctly and interact with your assembly as intended.
- Material and Torque: The spring's material and wire diameter determine its strength. You need to specify how much torque you need at a certain degree of rotation (E.g., "10 N-mm of torque at 90 degrees"). This tells us how strong the spring needs to be. Music wire is great for general use, while stainless steel is needed for corrosive environments.
| Design Factor | Ke Hobane'ng ha e le Bohlokoa? | Common Specification |
|---|---|---|
| Tataiso ea Moea | Loading against the wind causes failure. | Letsoho le letona (RH) or Left-Hand (LH). |
| Leg Angle & Bolelele | Determines fit and force application point. | Free angle in degrees, leg lengths in mm. |
| Torque Requirement | Defines the spring's functional strength. | Torque (N-mm) at a rotated position (likhato). |
