A torsion spring is usually a closed coil helical spring with ends
formed to provide torque when load is exerted on the ends.
Depending on the application torsion springs can be designed to
work in a clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation. This working
rotation will determine the direction of the wind.
End configurations
of torsion springs are limitless. The application will determine
how exotic the ends or tails need to be.
The fewer bends the less tooling and machine time involved thus
reducing the cost.
