Precision Torsion Springs

DG Vifort manufactures custom torsion springs designed to apply or resist rotational force (torque). From simple single-body springs for hinges to complex double torsion springs for counter-balance mechanisms, we provide precision-engineered solutions.

Overcoming Common Torsion Spring Design Flaws

A torsion spring's performance depends on precise geometry and material integrity. We help our customers avoid common failures they've experienced elsewhere:

• The Problem of Leg Breakage: The spring leg fails at the bend where it connects to the body.
  Our Solution: We use proper bend radii and advanced heat-treating processes to eliminate stress concentration points, creating durable, long-lasting leg configurations.

• The Problem of Incorrect Torque: The spring provides too much or too little force, or the torque fades over time.
  Our Solution: Our engineers can assist with torque calculations, and our manufacturing process ensures each spring is wound to deliver the exact torque value required by your design.

• The Problem of Mismatched Geometry: The leg angles, lengths, or end shapes don't fit your assembly.
  Our Solution: Everything is customizable. We can create virtually any leg configuration—straight, offset, hooked, or looped—to match your exact needs.

• The Problem of Winding Direction: Choosing the wrong wind direction causes the spring to uncoil under load.
  Our Solution: We guide you in selecting the correct wind direction (left-hand or right-hand) to ensure the spring body tightens under load, which is critical for proper function.

Applications for Torsion Springs

Our custom torsion springs are essential components in products like door hinges, clipboards, counter-balance mechanisms, levers, ratchets, and thousands of other applications requiring rotational force.
