A spring that's too strong will make the door hard to close and can damage the top panel. A spring that's too weak will burn out your electric opener in a matter of months. Precision nyaeta sagalana. Before you even think about ordering a part, you have to become an expert at measuring what you already have. Let's walk through exactly how it's done.

How Do You Correctly Measure a Torsion Spring?

The broken spring is in front of you, but how do you get accurate numbers? A small mistake in your measurement can lead to ordering a completely wrong part, wasting time and money.

kahiji, ensure the door is closed and the opener is unplugged. Saterusna, measure the wire diameter, diaméterna jero, and the overall length[^1] of the coils of one of the broken pieces. You also need to determine the arah angin[^ 2] (left or right-hand wind).

I can't stress this enough: measurements must be exact. I once had a new technician in our quality lab who was off by a tiny fraction of an inch on a wire diameter measurement. He approved a whole batch of springs based on that mistake. We had to scrap the entire order because we knew they wouldn't balance the customer's doors correctly. A tiny error on a small part can cause a huge problem in the final system. The same is true for your garage door. Taking your time to get these four details right is the most important step in the entire process.

Opat Pangukuran Kritis

To order the right spring, you need four pieces of information. For safety, always measure with the springs completely unwound (no tegangan[^3]).

• 1. Kais katilu: This is the thickness of the spring wire itself. It can be hard to measure a single wire accurately with a tape measure. The best way is to measure 10 coils and divide that number by 10. Salaku conto, if 10 coils measure 2.5 inci, your kais katilu[^4] nyaeta 0.250 inci.
• 2. Diaméterna jero: Ieu diaméter bukaan di tengah cinyusu. Biasana ukuran standar, kawas 1.75 inci atawa 2 inci. Anjeun tiasa ngukur ieu langsung dina bukaan.
• 3. Gemblengna Panjang: Ukur panjang cinyusu ti hiji tungtung coils ka séjén. Ulah kaasup congcot pungkal dina tungtung dina ukuran ieu.
• 4. Arah Angin: Tingali dina tungtung musim semi. Lamun tungtung kawat nunjuk ka katuhu, éta angin katuhu. Lamun nunjuk ka kénca, éta téh angin kénca-leungeun. Kalolobaan panto boga hiji unggal.

What if the Old Spring is Missing or Was the Wrong Size?

The old spring is gone, or you suspect it was wrong because the door never worked right. Now you have nothing to measure. Guessing the size is a recipe for disaster.

If there is no spring to measure, you must determine the correct size by weighing the garage door. This involves using scales to find the door's exact weight, which is then used in a formula with door height and drum size to calculate the required spring lift.

This is the point where I strongly advise calling a professional. We have supplied springs for custom door manufacturers who need a precise counterbalance for a new design. The first thing their engineers do is calculate the exact weight of the door panel. Ti dinya, we can determine the "Inch Pounds Per Turn" atawa IPPT[^ 5], which is the technical term for the spring's lifting power. It's a calculation that also involves the radius of the cable drums and the height of the door. A professional technician can weigh your door safely and has the charts to convert that weight into the perfect spring size.

Calculating the Required Lift

When you can't measure, you have to calculate from scratch.

• Door Weight is King: The entire purpose of the spring is to make a heavy door feel weightless. A standard two-car garage door can weigh over 300 pon kitu. The spring must be sized to counteract that specific weight.
• The Role of Drums and Height: The size of the cable drums (the pulleys the lift cables wrap around) and the height of the door also affect the calculation. Larger drums require a stronger spring to provide the same amount of lift. Taller doors require the spring to hold its tegangan[^3] through more turns.
• IPPT[^ 5] Itungan: Professionals use these factors (weight, drum size, jangkungna panto) to calculate the required IPPT[^ 5]. Every spring is rated for a specific IPPT[^ 5]. This ensures the new spring is a perfect match for the door's physics, not just a copy of a potentially incorrect old part.

Does Upgrading to a High-Cycle Spring Change the Size?

Your springs seem to break every few years. You want a longer-lasting option but worry a different spring won't fit. Will an "upgraded" spring be the same size as the original?

Henteu, a high-cycle spring will not be the same size. To achieve a longer life, the spring must be made from a slightly thicker wire and will be noticeably longer. Desain ieu ngurangan stress dina baja kalawan unggal pamakéan, sacara dramatis ningkatkeun umurna.
